Why assume? the ELisp manual describes that for you; when in the manual, type "i obarray RET" and read there. You will see that Emacs uses hashing, like all other implementations of symbol tables (which is what obarray really is), so adding a new symbol is more or less independent of the obarray size. The same goes for searches and other types of access. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
