> I suppose it's a matter of style.
Just to clarify, since I've just realised we're talking about
two independent things here:
1. "catch/loop/throw" vs "let/test/loop/set" is indeed a
matter of style (but you've probably convinced me to
prefer the latter).
Yeah, that was my meaning. I look forward to learning why
‘run-with-idle-timer’ is even necessary (my only experience w/
that is in zone.el func ‘zone-when-idle’).
2. It's the short timeout to accept-process-output that I'm
supposing hurts performance, but it can also be lengthened
using the first idiom.
Why does a short timeout hurt performance? My understanding is:
large timeout => more time for subproc to do its thing => bigger
and fewer chunks of input => less overhead relatively => better
overall performance.
[timeout value gyrations]
Sounds somewhat cargo-cult. Just like Emacs, i suppose... :-D
