Hi Nick, I'm not sure if the machine swaps - in fact I'm not sure what you mean. However, I am on a macbook air running OSX 10.6.8, emacs 22.3.1, org 7.7. I am the only user. I have 4GB ram, 2.13 GHz intel core 2 duo. Thanks for your help, Susan On Sun, Nov 13, 2011 at 9:41 PM, Nick

Also - it does not usually get faster right after it gets slower. It will stay slow for a while and sometimes get faster again later, but I haven't noticed a definite pattern. On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 7:44 PM, Susan Addy susan.e.a...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Nick, I'm not sure if the machine

Thanks Nick. In your opinion, can I rule out the idea that I have too many headlines or to many TODOs since it is sometimes fast? Is there anything to suggest that I might reformat my files? Thanks, Susan On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 8:20 PM, Nick Dokos nicholas.do...@hp.com wrote: Susan Addy

I am an avid user of org mode for all of my notes (usually kept under headlines with dates) and TODOs. I now have 5 agenda files with a total of about 25,000 lines, about 25% of which are headlines. Sometimes, when I run agenda, it is very slow to compile - about 10-15 seconds. During these

Hi Nick, I have looked through the archives and tried what I found, including the linum-mode and property-inheritance, which didn't affect the problem. I also tried to change to the latest version of org mode and (I think) emacs, which didn't help. I don't recall seeing the font-lock problem,

I don't think so. I just restarted emacs and compiled the agenda about 15 times in a row and it was fast. But - if I leave it to do something else for a while, often the next time I compile agenda it is slow, even if I haven't changed the org mode agenda files in the meantime. Thanks again. On

Ok - I tried adding (setq font-lock-verbose nil), but there was no change. It is still fast when I open emacs, and then some time later (after I switch to another program for some time and back) it is slow. Sometimes it will become fast again, and sometimes I recall (I think) it has been slow
