Dear Sebastian, many thanks for your detailed reply!

However, this performance is still disappointing considering the "horse power" of modern systems - and this although I checked that all Lisp sources have been compiled. But I will now officially stop whining: < 0.5 s for a typical interactive query is acceptable from a user's point of view. >> I have added a (kill-buffer) statement for cleaning up (I observed an >> increasing >> number of emacsclient processes before), is this a good solution? > > Does it help?

However, what happens to any buffers, temporary or otherwise, created during org conversion - will they accumulate in the server process? (2) I have not tried but it is probably important to start emacs-server as the same user who is then going to run emacsclient (root vs webservd)? (3) > Are you familiar with init.d stuff?

However, this is (slightly) deprecated on Solaris 10: we are supposed to use services instead, http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/selfheal/smf-quickstart.jsp (I have been happily using this feature of Solaris 10 but so far not created a new service which would be required here).
