I guess that in a really big Emacs, gc will take even much longer. It is not very surprising that the more objects gc has to check, the longer it takes. I believe this pretty much explains the gradual slowdown of Emacs as it grows older (and hence bigger).
Thanks for demonstrating that only GC is slowing down. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
