For a 6-year old laptop? ... but for a 6 yo computer, I'd say it's mostly related to the harddrive. At this stage, putting on the entries in a single file will boost things *a lot*. (Less calls to org-get-agenda-file-buffer, to org-mode, etc.) > In particular, when looking at the top entries: > > org-agenda-list 1 > 19.156 19.156 > org-agenda-prepare 1 > 11.141 11.141 > org-agenda-prepare-buffers 1 > 11.078 11.078 > org-get-agenda-file-buffer 344 > 11.064000000 0.0321627906 > org-agenda-get-day-entries 301 > 7.5179999999 0.0249767441 > org-agenda-get-scheduled 301 > 4.5180000000 0.0150099667 > org-mode 43 > 3.7710000000 0.0876976744 > > I'm amazed by: > > - the difference between the 3 seconds for the 43 calls to `org-mode' and the > final 19 seconds for the list to be displayed 3 secs for 43 calls to org-mode is already quite a lot... > - the difference as well between the top 2 functions: `org-agenda-prepare' > "only" takes 11 seconds, while `org-agenda-list' consumes another > 8 seconds... > > Any comment on this? Well, apart from gathering entries in less files, and apart from wishing that I have some time to try to optimize the agenda generation, I cannot comment that much :/ -- Bastien
