Subject: bug#2445: 23.0.90; file name completion GCs a lot
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 10:02:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1LbcKU-0006gR-TF@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
When I type C-x C-f xmail/foox TAB, where xmail contains 800 files
and none of them starts with foox, it takes a few seconds (including
3 GCs) before telling me it can't be found.
Here's output from xbacktrace:
"file-name-completion" (0x7fbe23e4)
"completion--file-name-table" (0x7fbe26c4)
"complete-with-action" (0x7fbe29a4)
0x87978c PVEC_COMPILED
"byte-code" (0x7fbe2f14)
"completion--some" (0x7fbe33b4)

"find-file-read-args" (0x7fbe648c)
"byte-code" (0x7fbe671c)
"call-interactively" (0x7fbe69c4)
I think that is because of the partial completion feature
that is now enabled by default and was not before.
I don't notice (or mind) the feature itself. But the delay
is a real pain whenever I make a typo in these names.
I think the feature should be disabled by default
if it can't be made fast enough to run in half a second.
This is on the Lemote Yeelong mini-laptop.
