One argument against hardcoding would be that you can use org-cycle in other modes, with outline-minor-mode, and I think a number of people make use of this. Of cause, if indeed an interesting speed bump can be achieved, we can provide a stand-alone org-cycle, maybe even integrate it into outline-mode itself. - Carsten > > I will work on a patch to this effect and submit it to the list, > I even expect there will be some performance boost. > > Thanks for your input! > > -- > Bastien
