Hello, first time posting on the mailing list. I encountered a problem
where my agenda view (|C-c a a|) is taking ridiculously long (nearly 2
minutes) to be shown the first time. From the second time onwards, the
time is about 11 seconds, which is still very long by any means.
I wondered whether it has something to do with me having many files in
the agenda list, so I tried to restrict the list to just one file. But
still the first call to org-agenda-list took 12 seconds. This shouldn’t
be normal, right?
The following are shown in the |Messages| buffer during the call.
|Press key for agenda command: Restoring clock data Loading

Prepared just-in-time loading of snippets successfully. Importmagic
and/or epc not found. importmagic.el will not be working. Setting up
indent for shell type zsh Indentation variables are now local.
Indentation setup for shell type zsh Using vacuous schema Shell native
completion is disabled, using fallback |
I’m not sure why they would be there, especially the “using vacuous
schema” and “shell native completion” part. Are the messages related to
some |#BEGIN_SRC| blocks in the org files? I don’t think I would ever
need source code blocks when I’m viewing an agenda buffer?
I posted the question on Emacs.SE
<https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/30489/what-could-cause-org-agenda-to-take-very-long-to-start-up>
and somebody suggested me use |elp-instrument| to perform a profiling.
The results are as follows:

I’m using Spacemacs’ <https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs> develop
branch.
However, this problem happens on both Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and the latest
MacOS. Actually it has persisted for a very long period of time so I
doubt if it’s related to any particular Emacs/Org version.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Best regards,
Xiang
