AFAIK, the underlying cause is bad scaling of `pp' algo. So, it will only get worse (like O(N^2) worse) with increasing number of index entries. Different CPU settings will just change the threshold when the problem is triggered. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
