In the -Q session I did very little other than an occasional test of dired speed. In the other session I only ran VM and dired. So it would appear to be either what I'm loading in .emacs.desktop or what I'm doing after that in that session which causes that symptom to gradually appear. I've never seen the problem with an emacs session which lasts less than c 2 hours. Robert -- La grenouille songe..dans son château d'eau
