Fwd: Extremely slow (buggy?) function

Fwd: Extremely slow (buggy?) function

[David Reitter]

Can't reproduce, and can't see how it would relate to Aquamacs, so I'm  
forwarding it on.

[Stefan Monnier]

Can you take a look at this report?
It seems to be a performance problem in idlwave.

This is to be expected when you have a large (IDL) search path, or  
(especially) one which includes slow network shares.  During this  
message, IDLWAVE is searching the path for `.idlwave_catalog' files,  
and loading them.  Try setting `idlwave-use-library-catalogs' to nil  
to see if the problem goes away.  If so, it probably relates to the  
size of the search path (held in `idlwave-path-alist', which is  
gathered from the IDL shell, or explicitly set in `idlwave-library- 
path'), or to a slow network share.  Another option would be to  
explicitly set idlwave-library-path to a smaller file tree.

>> This behaviour appeared with Version 1.3

I'm not aware of any recent changes in behavior for library catalogs.
