RE: customize-apropos-options takes forever...

        Emacs 22 has a lot more options, of course, and more faces
        and buttons and such, but it still feels like things are
        less efficient now. In emacs -Q, there are 4698 lines in the
        buffer in Emacs 22; in Emacs 20, there are 2333
        lines (about half). But Emacs 22 takes *far* longer than
        twice as long.

    Probably something really is wrong.  The question is what.

    Would you like to try running Emacs 22 under a debugger
    and stopping it a few times uring this operation?
    If you notice a place that shows up frequently in the backtrace,
    that might be the place that is using the time.

I feel comfortable with the lisp debugger, but not with gdb etc.

Also, I just don't have the time right now. If this can be checked with the
lisp debugger (debug-on-entry...), then I will try to check it later.
