Hi, I'm using planner-mode to manage my projects in a research lab. I couldn't live without it, but I can't ignore speed problems which keep getting more and more pressing as my projects advance. I press C-c C-p each morning to update my HTML task list (see http://www.mhoenicka.de/software/hacks/tasklist.html) and to publish the changed planner pages to HTML. This process takes approx. 10 minutes these days. I can live with that, although my box (a Pentium 4 2.4GHz 768MB RAM) is essentially locked due to the modest hardware, but it's just not convenient.
Usually only half a dozen pages need to be published every day. The sizes are approx. one or two printed page using the HTML output, so this shouldn't be a problem. I reckon the problem is in generating the index. Currently there are approx. 1100 muse pages. As far as I understand, generating the index requires planner to peek into each file to collect the data for the calendar-based index, whereas the page-based index should just require a directory listing. OTOH my taskmm add-on (see http://www.mhoenicka.de/software/hacks/taskmm.html) also traverses all non-day muse files to collect the backlinks. This Perl script takes approx. 3 seconds to finish. So what does Emacs do in the remaining 10 minutes? My platform is a Windows XP box running NTEmacs 23.1.1. I use Cygwin bash as a shell although I'm not sure if publishing planner projects involves any shell commands. What are my options besides doing the obvious (ditch the box and get recent hardware)? regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 _______________________________________________ Planner-el-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/planner-el-discuss
