On Windows XP using GNUs and talking to an IMAP server, it's way faster to use XEmacs than to use Gnu Emacs. Nobody over on the GNUs list has a clue as to why, but since they just work on elisp code they surmise it's something in the emacs implementation. I know it's a long shot, but I thought someone over here should know about it. Cheers, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
