The last time I thought that was when I wanted to compare how much worse Emacs fared when using it for working on LaTeX files compared to a specialized simple text editor called Kile or something. Emacs hit in at over 16MB with my current work session (granted, containing quite more than just a LaTeX file). Then I started Kile and it swallowed about 90MB of memory, mostly because it pulled in half a dozen libraries and demons, getting those KDE parts up that it needed for operation. Don't underestimate specialized simple text editors. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
