If calling that function is slow on that system, then presumably that means that opening a TLS connection will now be inexplicably slow the first time, right? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

The system isn't managed by me and has some custom security certificate crud that I didn't feel like digging into. You're right about TLS connection delays, but I'm more willing to tolerate the delay in connecting over a network (which is slow anyway) than I am in process startup. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I think the decision was to install this on emacs-25, so please cherry-pick from master. Thanks. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
