Yes, I am using an old laptop with just 256M of ram, archlinux on it. Ess output it's just too slow, it gets me nervous. Is there a way to disable the syntax highlighting in the R buffer? Any other hint on what could improve my emacs+ess responsiveness? Actually, it is the same with auctex compiling latex documents: C-c C-c RET takes a little more time than a simple pdflatex run, and way more when the log buffer is opened. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
