Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I often use emacs for writing LaTeX, with the help of "aspell" as a spell-checking program. With the nextstep port of Emacs 23.1.1, spell-checking a latex document is approximately 50 times slower than spell-checking the same latex document with Emacs 22.3.1. My test case uses the LaTeX version of GPL 3.0. I've posted a copy of the latex file here: http://www.cs.umb.edu/~srevilak/images/gpl-3.0.tex I will also attempt to attach a copy of gpl-3.0.tex to this bug report. If you examine this copy of gpl-3.0.tex, you'll notice a "LocalWords" section at the bottom. As a preparation step, I've run this file through ispell-buffer, and used `A' to add all misspelled words. The goal is to see how long it takes ispell-buffer to spell check the file, and declare that there are no spelling errors. Specific steps to reproduce: 1) start emacs, with --no-init-file shell> /Applications/Emacs-23.1.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --no-init-file 2) switch to scratch buffer C-x b *scratch* RETURN 3) specify aspell as the ispell program ;; eval with C-x C-e (setq ispell-program "aspell") 4) Open gpl-3.0.tex C-x f /path/to/gpl-3.0.tex RETURN 5) spell-check the buffer M-x ispell-buffer RETURN Again, I've arranged things such that there are no spelling errors for aspell to find. The nextstep port of emacs 23.1.1 takes 57 seconds to spell-check gpl-3.0.tex.By contrast, an older version of emacs:
GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0)
of 2009-03-28 on spud.local
takes less that 1 second to perform the same task, on the same
computer, using the same aspell binary.
As another point of contrast
GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i586-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.1) of
2009-10-24 on build16
running on a GNU/Linux system also takes less than 1 second to
accomplish this task. Thus, the `slow ispell-buffer' behavior appears
to be specific to the nextstep port of emacs 23.1.1, compiled on Mac
OS X.
