Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I often use emacs for writing LaTeX, with the help of "aspell" as a
spell-checking program.  With the nextstep port of Emacs 23.1.1,
spell-checking a latex document is approximately 50 times slower than
spell-checking the same latex document with Emacs 22.3.1.

My test case uses the LaTeX version of GPL 3.0.  I've posted a copy of
the latex file here:

   http://www.cs.umb.edu/~srevilak/images/gpl-3.0.tex

I will also attempt to attach a copy of gpl-3.0.tex to this bug
report.

If you examine this copy of gpl-3.0.tex, you'll notice a "LocalWords"
section at the bottom.  As a preparation step, I've run this file
through ispell-buffer, and used `A' to add all misspelled words.  The
goal is to see how long it takes ispell-buffer to spell check the
file, and declare that there are no spelling errors.

Specific steps to reproduce:

1) start emacs, with --no-init-file

   shell>  /Applications/Emacs-23.1.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --no-init-file

2) switch to scratch buffer

    C-x b *scratch* RETURN

3) specify aspell as the ispell program

    ;; eval with C-x C-e
    (setq ispell-program "aspell")

4) Open gpl-3.0.tex

    C-x f /path/to/gpl-3.0.tex RETURN

5) spell-check the buffer

    M-x ispell-buffer RETURN

Again, I've arranged things such that there are no spelling errors for
aspell to find.

The nextstep port of emacs 23.1.1 takes 57 seconds to spell-check
gpl-3.0.tex.

By contrast, an older version of emacs: 

   GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0)
    of 2009-03-28 on spud.local

takes less that 1 second to perform the same task, on the same
computer, using the same aspell binary.

As another point of contrast

   GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i586-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.1) of
   2009-10-24 on build16

running on a GNU/Linux system also takes less than 1 second to
accomplish this task.  Thus, the `slow ispell-buffer' behavior appears
to be specific to the nextstep port of emacs 23.1.1, compiled on Mac
OS X.

The version of aspell that I am using:

   @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.6)

uname -a output for this system:

   Darwin spud.local 8.11.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.0: Wed Oct 10 18:26:00 PDT 2007; root:xnu-792.24.17~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc


If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
     `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/Applications/Emacs-23.1.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

I've tried to reproduce this issue with

   GNU Emacs 23.1.91.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, NS apple-appkit-824.48) of 2009-12-31 on spud.local

M-x ispell-buffer slowness still occurs when Emacs is started as a
"windowed" application (i.e.,
"/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q").  M-x ispell-buffer
still takes 57 seconds to check gpl-3.0.tex.


I have one new bit of information to report.  M-x ispell-buffer is NOT
slow when emacs 23.1.91.1 is run as a non-windowed application (i.e., 
"/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q -nw").  When started
with -nw, emacs 23.1.91.1 can spell check gpl-3.0.tex in under a
second.

I hadn't thought to try -nw before, so I went back and checked a few
older versions of emacs-23. (23.1.90.1, 23.1.50.1, 23.1.1).  In all
cases, M-x ispell-buffer is fast with "-nw", and slow without "-nw".
