Hi Al,

first of all, I cannot reproduce the fact that drawers have such
a major influence on time, wit a test file that I created to
be similar to what you describe.

There is a way to speed up drawer handling, by using text properties
instead of overlays. How have some vague plans to do this, but nothing concrete or soon.

Hello,

I'm trying to use emacs org-mode to keep my bookmarks (using the
org-annotation-helper.el method). I find this really great, except performance
issues.

My .org file contains ~5000 entries, organized in a tree like this:

#+DRAWERS: MYDATA

** net
*** www
**** [[http://www.w3.org/][W3C - The World Wide Web Consortium]]
:MYDATA:
 :Entered:   [2000-03-06 10:29:04]
 :LastVisit: [2000-08-31 16:32:15]
:END:

Some optional text

**** [[http://www.xml.com/pub][XML.com - XTech 2000 Conference]]
:AEDATA:
 :Entered:   [2000-03-06 10:29:49]
 :LastVisit: [2001-10-08 15:37:09]
:END:

The problem is that with the drawers activated, it's *very* slow. Cycling the
visibility mode takes more than 10 seconds.
If I remove the drawers configuration line (#+DRAWERS: MYDATA), speed comes back
to reasonable levels, but obviously I lose the drawer effect.

Is there a solution to improve the speed and using the drawers ?

Thanks in advance.
