Indeed, this makes the speed situation much better on Emacs 24.0.97.
- When I scroll a large C++ file in Emacs 24.0.97 the first time, the
performance is very choppy, even on a powerful Mac Pro machine.
There are moments toward the end of the file when I can actually count out
10 seconds or so before it moves on to the next page. The file is 17,983
lines long, consisting entirely of type declarations, enum, #define's and
prototypes.
- If I press M-<, go back to the top of the file, and then scroll to the
bottom again, there are basically no pauses.
- If I delete the buffer and re-open the file, scrolling is the same as
before.
- If I delete the buffer and load cc-fonts.elc from Emacs 23.4, scrolling
performance is *much* better. It is less choppy, and although it still
shows one long pause toward the end (garbage collection?), that's it.
- As before, going to the top with M-< and re-scrolling shows perfect speed,
no lag whatsoever; and killing the buffer and re-scrolling shows the same
faster performance as before, with less lag (but still a little bit).
The strange thing is, cc-fonts.el.gz is identical between Emacs 23.4 and Emacs
24.0.97! Only the .elc's differ. Have we found a byte-compilation issue in
Emacs 24?
