Subject: files.el: Once again impossible to turn off dir-settings
Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 20:33:11 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5f0ff9220811252033t11d9a8cfied2d69075827bd7c@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <jwviqqbscn7.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org>
Stefane, --yes, /homee/user is nfs mounted -- and accessing
non-existent directories in /home causes a network access. This
means that when emacs goes hunting in /home, it triggers
a huge number of filer accesses. I wasn't aware of the other
regexp -- I'll use that. But for the foreseeable future I expect
to disable dir-setings -- at least until there is a project using
it.
I use emacs for many things, including writing code, -- not
exclusively for writing code; and for that use case, it's
important that emacs not always go trawling around for project settings.
