Same thing with `emacs -Q --eval > "(recentf-mode 1)"'. I continue to see this misbehavior, i.e. a ca. 30 stillstand while the recentf list is being cleaned up, even with 0 files removed. Today I reproduced it with -Q -l test.el, the latter file consisting solely of this: (custom-set-variables '(recentf-mode t)) This was with my recentf file. Again there was a ca. 30 second pause (one file was removed). I have not been able to reproduce the pause by repeating this with a new emacs process but the same login session. Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be, or a suggestion about how to try and track it down? Steve Berman
