Subject: slow output in *compilation* buffer
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2009 01:23:10 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200908220823.n7M8NAk5028199@godzilla.ics.uci.edu> (raw)
Running a compilation job the produces a lot of text output with M-x
compile is much slower than running it in a shell.
For example
With emacs/lisp as the current directory, doing
M-x compile RET grep -nH -e emacs *.el */*.el RET
takes 25 seconds
The output is 4500 lines
Running the same command in an xterm takes 1.5 seconds!

0.57 7.89 0.05 23886 0.00 0.00 mark_vectorlike
Observations:
- there's a lot of garbage collection going on
- Fprevious_single_property_change is probably mostly called from
compilation-error-properties
Doing
M-x (setq compilation-error-regexp-alist nil) RET
then
M-x compile RET grep -nH -e emacs *.el */*.el RET
takes 3 seconds.
So it seems that fontification (and things related to it) are very very expensive.
Can someone familiar with the code in question take a look and figure
out how to optimize this?
Thanks
