I understand that emacs macros run interactively. One macro I'm using concatenates three lines into one line. Running it singly execution is quick. With 1000+ lines in the file I run it in repeat mode after checking it's working properly: C-u 20 C-x e
At first this runs quickly, but it slows to a crawl after several uses. When I then execute the macro singly there is now a delay before it completes. My web searches confirm that long execution of a macro can take a while, but I've not found an explanation of why execution takes longer and longer with each iteration. Your thoughts?
