Hi all. I realize this will not be super-scientific: right now I just
don't have the information to be more specific. If no one has any ideas
I'll try to do better.
I'm using GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (GTK) on my GNU/Linux Mint 15 desktop from
this PPA: http://ppa.launchpad.net/cassou/emacs/ubuntu (quantal).
The way I start it is that I invoke "emacs --daemon", then I use
emacsclient to start various different frames. I typically have two
graphical frames, at least, on my desktop at work. Then I go home and
when I work from home I usually create an xterm on my home system, then
ssh to my work system and run "emacsclient -nw" to get a TTY frame (all
talking to the same Emacs daemon) and work from there.
I don't close down the remote Emacs sessions when I come back to work, I
leave it running.
When I first start things up, everything works fine and all is goodness.
I can't be specific about exactly when it happens or what causes it, but
after some time (a day or so at least) my Emacs windows start to be
unbearably slow especially when I have select mode enabled. It's a bit
jerky without select mode, but when I use C-SPC to start select then it
will literally take a few seconds to even use C-n a few times (without
requiring scrolling the buffer). Quite frustrating.
Then I kill the Emacs daemon and restart it and recreate my frames and
it works fine again.
I thought it might be related to the remote session using "emacs -nw" so
I've tried not been doing that (using a separate "emacs" rather than
"emacsclient", which is annoying) but it doesn't seem to solve the
problem.
I can't say exactly when this started, but I'm used to leaving my Emacs
sessions running for weeks at a time without restarting and I'm sure I
would have noticed it if it had always been happening.
I really don't know WHAT is going on or how to quantify this.
I was wondering if anyone else had seen anything like it or has any
thoughts. I'll try to pay more attention in the meantime.
