24.4.50; regression: emacsclient under screen (1) slow for some values of TERM |
|
Date: |
Sat, 31 May 2014 02:18:00 +0200 |
Dear emacs developers,
under screen with emacs from repo
emacsclient -t <some-filename>
almost instantaneously shows the scratch buffer (or some other
last used buffer), then for 2 secs nothing happens, then the
window shows the buffer which corresponds to some-file-name and
one is able to work with it.
This happens for some values of TERM.
recipe:
emacs-snapshot -Q --daemon
now do
/usr/bin/time screen -m -c /dev/null -T $TERMINALNAME sh -c
"emacsclient.emacs-snapshot -n -t /tmp/emacsslow/AA${RANDOM}${RANDOM}BB ;
emacsclient.emacs-snapshot --eval '(server-edit)'"
for different values of TERMINALNAME
Here is a sorted list of elapsed times for terminfo definitions
from my debian testing system (the elapsed times in this list are
the median of 11 rounds with each terminfo definiton):
0:00.05elapsed screen2
0:00.05elapsed screen3
0:00.05elapsed screen.Eterm
0:00.05elapsed screen.gnome
0:00.05elapsed screen.konsole
0:00.05elapsed screen.linux
0:00.05elapsed screen.mlterm
0:00.05elapsed screen.mrxvt
0:00.05elapsed screen.rxvt
0:00.05elapsed screen.teraterm
0:00.05elapsed screen.vte
0:00.05elapsed screen.xterm-new
0:00.05elapsed screen.xterm-r6
some of them are *much* slower:
0:02.06elapsed screen-16color
0:02.07elapsed screen-16color-bce
0:02.07elapsed screen-16color-s
0:02.07elapsed screen-bce.Eterm
0:02.07elapsed screen-bce.gnome
0:02.07elapsed screen-bce.konsole
0:02.07elapsed screen-bce.linux
0:02.07elapsed screen-bce.mlterm
0:02.07elapsed screen-bce.mrxvt
0:02.07elapsed screen-bce.rxvt
0:02.08elapsed screen-256color-s
0:02.09elapsed screen-256c-bce-s --> screen-256color-bce-s
Sadly I use the last one, which is a link to the actual terminfo
file since screen (1) does not accept TERM values with a length
of more then 20 characters.
I did the same timing tests with emacs24 as packaged for debian
testing:
0:00.02elapsed screen3
0:00.02elapsed screen.mrxvt
0:00.03elapsed screen-16color
0:00.03elapsed screen-16color-bce
0:00.03elapsed screen-16color-s
0:00.03elapsed screen2
0:00.03elapsed screen-bce.Eterm
0:00.03elapsed screen-bce.gnome
0:00.03elapsed screen-bce.konsole
0:00.03elapsed screen-bce.linux
0:00.03elapsed screen-bce.mlterm
0:00.03elapsed screen-bce.mrxvt
0:00.03elapsed screen-bce.rxvt
0:00.03elapsed screen.gnome
0:00.03elapsed screen.konsole
0:00.03elapsed screen.linux
0:00.03elapsed screen.mlterm
0:00.03elapsed screen.rxvt
0:00.03elapsed screen.teraterm
0:00.03elapsed screen.vte
0:00.03elapsed screen.xterm-new
0:00.04elapsed screen-256c-bce-s
0:00.04elapsed screen-256color-s
0:00.04elapsed screen.xterm-r6
0:00.10elapsed screen.Eterm
There is no such 2 secs delay.
I did a git bisect on the repo and this produced:
6607a79c6e7c7554059557c0db78c26c57314f24 is the first bad commit

I have no idea if or how this is related to the problem at hand,
but screen.el was changed, therefore I hope this info helps.
I wished, emacsclient would open files be fast again.
I would be happy to answer questions or do some testing
if someone provides me with instruction.
Thanks for your attention, Gregor
