This doesn't seem to be Windows-specific at all; he says that using the system clipboard while running a (long/repeated) macro that uses Emacs' kill ring loses because they're constantly being synchronized. That should be true on any system with interprogram cut/paste. He also attributes a perceived slowness on W32 to this synchronization, but that seems unlikely (I'd think it more likely to be slower redisplay or so on W32). So, what he really wants is to not have the system clipboard consulted or updated during the execution of a keyboard macro, when the kill-ring should be "internal" data. If that sounds like a good idea, I can whip up a patch. Davis Herring -- This product is sold by volume, not by mass.
