In my case, it is not when Emacs regains focus but rather when one tries to perform an action: typing, saving, cutting text, and so forth. It does not appear to be limited to just keyboard initiated actions, since I experience the pauses when using the toolbar, too. However, I didn't have a HOME environment variable set, so I gave that a try. It did not change my experience, but it was a great suggestion. On that topic: vanilla Emacs/w32 (i.e. emacs.exe -q --no-site-file) says (expand-file-name "~") => "c:/Users/mdaniel/AppData/Roaming". Is there some good reason why it chooses AppData\Roaming instead of \Users\mdaniel like intuition would predict? This is not specific to Vista, BTW; on XP it thinks "C:\Documents and Settings\mdaniel\Application Data" is "~". I will certainly give Vincent's custom distribution a whirl and see how that works out. Everyone needs an installation of LaTeX on their machine, anyway. :-) Thanks for your help, -- /v\atthew
