But we have to do SOMETHING. I noticed `i' Info-index seems to visit the index node before reading the user's search string. I wonder if that could be done in the completion handler instead (which is Info-complete-menu-item, shared by Info-menu). Doesn't make it go any faster of course, but gets to the prompt quicker. (Oh, and for slowness data points, only about 4 seconds on my 333mhz k62 -- which sounds far too quick compared to Miles' 450mhz p3. Dunno what I've turned off, it's supposed to be from -Q with clean build.)
