I think that's jit-lock's story: being helpful on slow computers. Huh? Jit-lock tends to lengthen the time to refresh the screen, so it's really designed for fast computers where redisplay is fast enough anyway. > I seem to remember that it was recommended not to use jit-lock any more > because it could be removed some day. (I too switched off jit-lock some > months or years ago.) Huh? Jit-lock is the default and is not on the way out *at all*. Stefan
