Actually, I should have been more explicit -- I use emacs and org
*exclusively* on Windows (via cygwin). In fact, for years now, I
exclusively use Windows as far as operating systems go. However, not being
an OS expert, but just a user, I am frequently frustrated by file access
speeds. I have heard (just water-cooler talk) that as the registry gets
bloated over time, NTFS file access slows, having something to do with
frequent checks of the registry prior to file access. Originally, I didn't
feel I understood the issue well enough to claim this as a legitimate reason
in this forum. But, seeing your (over)reaction, perhaps I should have
explained myself better.
Did I bring a religious war into the discussion? No, I most certainly did
not. I didn't mention any other OS's, nor make comparisons between OS's.
Rather, I suggested a possible cause (slow NTFS file access) for the problem
that others and myself are seeing with org on Windows. I followed that with
a question about whether org is trying to open several files when calling
remember, to see if that would lead to a proper diagnosis of the problem.
How did you contribute to the conversation? I didn't bring up OS
comparisons -- you did! Now I know org is used on all OSen. Thanks! If
you have nothing to contribute to this topic, and can't help solve my
problem, then I suggest you reserve your accusations for an appropriate
forum.
