No. Martin and Hrvoje used to do that stuff with the Lisp interpreter, but those don't seem to be as important as stuff like lexical scope; all that bondage and lack of discipline is very costly in CPU cycles, I think. There are also nasties (infloops, maybe?) in the regexp code. The other place where we're really hurting in my somewhat informed opinion is in redisplay. The widget work added loads of additional dirty flags resulting in a lot of X traffic, a significant fraction of which are not #ifdef'd for widgets so they slow things down regardless of whether widgets are in use or not. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
