Confirmed with emacs -Q, emacs22-gtk 22.2-0ubuntu2 on Jaunty (stopped counting after 5 minutes; it did finish loading eventually, and load decreased significantly at that point).
I have a vague recollection that I saw an upstream bug which looked a lot like this one, but wasn't able to find it in the Emacs bug tracker in spite of spending an hour browsing around. http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3032 is not the one I was looking for, but might actually be the correct upstream bug for this particular case. ** Bug watch added: emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/ #3032 http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3032 ** Changed in: emacs22 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- emacs22 takes almost 4 minutes to load large C file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
