Hi Sebastian,
4 minutes of startup time is entirely unacceptable. And I think
you need to identify what is causing this.
First of all, unless you are having to totally old Version of Emacs,
fontification at display time is standard, I believe.
You must be doing something strange, like forcing Emacs to load
all those files in org-agenda-files for example, and maybe forcing
global
fontification for each file or so.
About a separate variable for search file, that does of cause exist:
org-agenda-text-search-extra-files

Hi,
Of course, I have many, many files in Org mode. All files I write

Of course, I would like to search through my files at some point in

I even would like to search through your files at some point in
time, I mean
through =org-mode/contrib/babel= and =Worg= for example.
Hence, I put them in =org-agenda-files=:

The problem is the load-time of my Emacs, now:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Emacs Init startup time: 221 seconds.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
coming from 20 seconds before the heavy use of Org...
with tens of times such lines in my *Messages* buffer:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

You'll tell me: not a problem, you do that only once a day, and you
use Emacs
client/server for the rest of the time. True. A bit, because I
sometimes have
to restart Emacs for testing a fresh one (not impacted by defvars
already
defined, or deffaces, etc.).
Having to wait almost 4 minutes is a real pain. So, here my
comments/questions:
- Isn't it possible to delay the fontification/ispell/etc. to when
we really
display (i.e., pop up) the buffer? I guess this must be a major
component
of the time this takes.
- Couldn't we have 2 vars: =org-agenda-files= for the files you know
you want
have scanned for the agenda construction, and an extra list such as
=org-search-files= for files not containing any dates? Then, some
time
would have to be taken when =C-c a s=, but not before. And not if
you don't
search for anything in your Org files during that Emacs session...
Any other idea?
Best regards,
Seb
