Interesting. It doesn't take 3 seconds on my system (Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz) but there is a noticeable delay using C-n to move from =* Other= to =* Closed issues=. However, using C-cC-n to move has no delay at all and moving backwards (either C-p or C-cC-p) also exhibits no delay. I have noticed significant slowness in some of my own files lately when including babel source code blocks, especially latex ones. But I haven't been able to reproduce this slowness predictably enough to instrument it and hence report it in any useful sense... still experimenting. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.38.gf8c6.dirty)
