fighting still with the slowness in Org as soon as the mouse "hits" some lines in agenda view or even in any org file I thought why not run the "fast displaying" emacs under Linux and redirect the display to my windows X-server. Well - the X-server under Windows (X-Deep 4.6.5) slows the display of refreshes even more. So this is of no help - at least with my X-Server. Can't I control the creation of links in agenda view? I did not find a variable to configure. OK, a little later I found this (setq mouse-highlight nil) That does what I need, the awful timeout while moving the mouse over links is gone! Of course any highlighting is now gone ... As far as I see now the highlighting of links itself is not the issue. What takes several seconds is the display of a little popup window showing the contens of the link (e.g. "LINK: file:filename.org). This must be a windows problem. In the past I already found two major performance hogs coming from a display problem under windows: - smooth-scolling.el - hl-line-mode - (add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook 'hl-line-mode) Now I wonder if that little "LINK: " window can be switched off. -- Rainer
