OK, that's good news.  I guess the bug can be closed now?

Regarding the speed-up you see: Emacs 30 is indeed somewhat faster,
but I doubt that it is revolutionary faster.  I'm guessing that the
improvements you see are at least in part due to the different
configuration and build details.

Thanks, but I'm not the only one to take the credit.  This is a team
work, and we have a great team.
