It's an obscure internal detail that is of no interest neither to users nor to Lisp programmers. In general, any cache is introduced to speed up certain frequent operations by eliminating the need for recomputing something expensive; I'm sure you know that already, as do most programmers. Why a cache is needed in this particular case and how it is managed, are issues that no one except redisplay hackers should care about. IMHO, of course. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
