Dear all,
let me show some times I clocked using my precious org system.
Many a times I look at my weekly agenda view, working on the items of today and looking back over the weekdays to
quickly find todos I have to to add further notes and clock times.
Now, sometimes I do not find the right todo in the weekly view, so I activate the list of all open todos
in order to find the appropriate one.
This process, switching to "all todos" and back to "weekly agenda" takes about 18 (!) seconds netto.
This is a lot! It psychologically prevents me to use the org system as I should and would like to.
I already tried to fix my weekly agenda view in a separate frame and call the "all todo" agenda in another frame,
just to go back to the first frame and continue to work there.
This does not seem to work (agenda is updated everywhere). If it would work it would just be something like a cache mode.
How about you orgers out there? Do you have long waiting times and therefore usability downsides?

my settings:
GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) from trunk 2011-02-16 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched)
Org-mode version 7.6 (release_7.6.88.gd1c9)
by the way:
it takes me
org-version 1 5.438 5.438
org-agenda-span-name 5 0.0 0.0
to get to see the org version I use!!! Can't explain why. My PC is a Windows XP SP3, P5 3GHZ, 3GB RAM. Runs perfectly.

Hi Rainer,
Sorry, I can not really comment/help with anything.
Just curious:

a) How many files are in your agenda file list?
b) How many "all todos" do you have?
18 seconds is a lot, indeed.
With my 512 megs RAM, 1.2 Mhz PIII Laptop, I do heavy and frequent
archiving, but preparing for exams, the amount of data will rise, soon.

Hi Memnon Anon,
I have 8 org-agenda files. Doing a "wc" word count on them gives me:
199 953 10169 f1.org
4105 32563 257460 f2.org
634 4667 35699 f3..org
21567 169446 1524359 f4.org
2413 19708 137255 f5.org
6095 44852 376551 f6.org
601 4994 53794 f7.org
687 4601 37535 f8.org
36301 281784 2432822 total
(newline, word, byte - count)
Is that a lot?
Another thing: here at home running a Linux machine slower than my machine at work gives me about
half the needed time. But still - 9 seconds is eternity when you want to continue to type.
Thanks,
Rainer

Clearly, the 64 calls to org-agenda-get-day-entries hurt: a cursory look shows
,----
| (while (setq d (pop day-numbers))
| ...
| (setq files thefiles
| rtnall nil)
| (while (setq file (pop files))
| ...
| (setq rtn (apply 'org-agenda-get-day-entries
| file date
| org-agenda-entry-types)))))
| ...
`----
so it loops over all the days and for each day it loops over all the
files (7 days * 8 files = 56 times in org-agenda-list) - it "only" loops
over the 8 files for a given date in org-todo-list. So your normal
weekly agenda should take about 11 seconds or so (56/64 * 13) -
does it? If so, that's already too much.
Anything you can do to reduce the burden will help:
o reducing the number of days - nah
o reducing the number of files - maybe
o reducing the size of each file - yes!
particularly this one:
21567 169446 1524359 f4.org
which is 5x bigger than any of the others. You might just try leaving out
of the agenda file list, just to see what effect it has.

Another thing that makes a difference is your
org-agenda-custom-commands: afaict, this function is only called if
org-agenda-custom-commands has an entry with a series of commands
associated with it: the function runs overs the series of commands. I
could try to deduce/guess what's in there, but it would be simpler if
you just tell us :-) In any case, that's also a time hog.

Nick, thanks for your analysis,
my custom agenda command for the weekly agenda is this:
...
("07" "agenda no todos sorted prio up - 7 days"
((agenda ".. agenda"
(
(org-agenda-ndays 7)
(org-agenda-start-with-log-mode t)
(org-agenda-overriding-header "Weekly Agenda"))))
((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(time-up priority-down todo-state-up))))
...
the todo list ist default "C-c a t"
It will not be easy to cut down my org files to smaller sizes.
Best,
- Rainer

If you could try just eliminating the big file from org-agenda-files
temporarily, try the commands to see if it does indeed make a
difference, and then add it back on, that would help steer us in the
right direction, I think. You can use C-c ] and C-c [ while visiting
the file to delete it from the list and add it back on (although that
might mess up the order).

so yes - the main part of the time is taken by the big org file. Still 5 seconds is not a keypress ...
And of course I will need a certain part of the excluded file. So going into any kind of caching might speed
up things quite a bit.

Yes.
Sorry to read about such performance problems (again).
One thing I've used to speed up my own setup is to reduce the scope
of `org-agenda-get-day-entries' by restricting agenda view with
(org-agenda-entry-types '(:scheduled))
where it makes sense. Otherwise `org-agenda-get-day-entries' can
loop over too many possibilities.
Keep us informed of any further analysis, progress.
Thanks!
