Turnng it off altogether is not wise. My box currently runs simulations that use many processes. To keep the machine usable (though slow) I keep those process at nice -20. This makes thm run, but I can use interactive programs. My normal process load varies between 4 and 15, depending on how many simulations I run. I do not want font lock stop working in this situation. Maybe it is reasonable to slow it proportionally to the load, starting with load = 0.5 or 0.7. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
