In addition, closing agenda buffers with "x" means that the next time
ones call the agenda, Emacs has to load and parse all those files again,
which takes much longer than simply rescanning buffers in memory.
In other words, the expense of keeping the buffers open (a relatively
small amount of RAM) is much less than the expense (disk IO, processing,
time) of reloading the files each time one calls the agenda. In
addition, pressing "x" will interrupt clocking.
If the problem is difficulty scanning through and navigating to buffers
in the Buffer List, ido offers a nice way to switch buffers quickly.
In my experience, Emacs is better savored as a sumptuous feast than as a
spartan repast. The more dishes there are on the table, the merrier
everyone is. :)
(length (buffer-list)) => 178
And I haven't started ERC yet. ;)
Best,
Matt
