Heh. I can't remember contributing any towards it, I assume you meant somebody else. I have something to discuss, though: The "Extents vs. Overlays unhappiness" and the slow display of many overlapping overlays in Emacs. All of this would be solved, if we rewrote the code such that Text Properties get used. Here's what this would do: 1. Text properties are very fast on Emacs. This is the benefit. 2. Text properties are a compatibility layer in XEmacs which get translated to extents anyway. Thus, no drawback here. 3. Text properties stick with the text when the text is copied (killed and yanked). This is a potential drawback. What do you think? Currently I don't suffer personally (I have 314 entries and it takes about 3 seconds to display all of them). Before starting to work on this, therefore, I'd like to hear from people that really suffer from this. I understand that it is meaningless to actually display hundreds of addresses, but if I remember my Emacsology correctly, you cannot interrupt Emacs during redisplay, thus C-g has no effect. You will have to wait it out. Is that correct? Can somebody suffering from the problem please confirm this?
