Oh, just a tiny disclaimer: I haven't built the emacs trunk since some time in febraury so I don't know if that switch is needed or even if it exists anymore, but it did indeed help me with my performace problems I was having a few months ago (also on Windows). The past few months I've been working on my new job and here we use eclipse and oxygenxml for all our editing needs (xml-files, xml-schemas and java) and I haven't gotten around to keeping up with the trunk on my personal computers. - Eric
