Nope. GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0)
of 2010-03-29 on rothera, modified by Debian

It seems not, from what I see in the Messages buffer. I really don't have the
impression of having fiddled with that, really.

That, yes! I should have explicitly written it, but -- yes -- I do have:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(org-agenda-list)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
in my .emacs.

To repeat myself, no to that question. But ispell and flyspell are called for
Org files. Maybe there are interactions?

Of course!
Doing this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-files
(append (directory-files org-directory t "^[^\\.].*\\.org$")
(if (file-exists-p "~/Projects/")
(directory-files "~/Projects/" t "^[^\\.].*\\.org$")
nil)))
(setq org-agenda-text-search-extra-files
(append
(if (file-exists-p "~/Public/")
(directory-files "~/Public/" t "^[^\\.].*\\.txt$")
nil)
(if (file-exists-p "~/Public/www.mygooglest.com/source/sva/")
(directory-files "~/Public/www.mygooglest.com/source/sva/" t
"^[^\\.].*\\.txt$")
nil)
(if (file-exists-p "~/Examples/Org-scraps/")
(directory-files "~/Examples/Org-scraps/" t
"^[^\\.].*\\.txt$")
nil)
(if (file-exists-p
"~/Downloads/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/contrib/babel/")
(directory-files
"~/Downloads/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/contrib/babel/" t "^[^\\.].*\\.org$")
nil)
(if (file-exists-p "~/Downloads/emacs/site-lisp/Worg/")
(directory-files "~/Downloads/emacs/site-lisp/Worg/" t
"^[^\\.].*\\.org$")
nil)
))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
reduces my load time from 221 seconds down to 92 seconds. Already a huge diff!
Thanks...
Best regards,
Seb
