Erik Naggum ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports:
I have run some tests at the U of Oslo with about 100 users who
generally agreed that Emacs had become faster in the latest Emacs
pretest. All I had done was to remove the "Garbage collecting"
message which people perceive as slowing Emacs down and tell them
that it had been sped up. It is, somehow, permissible for a
program to take a lot of time doing any other task than
administrative duties like garbage collection.
