gutter garbage insanity

Andy, your gutter implementation needs some serious profiling for garbage collection. i was noticing that my xemacs was getting slower and slower as more buffers were opened -- and then i noticed that if i moved the mouse back and forth, xemacs was garbage collecting *every fucking second*! sure enough, with gutters off, the gc goes away, and everything speeds up immensely. i have 60 buffers open, and the gutter code is generating 500,000 bytes of garbage every second! what the hell? andy, at the very least use frame-modified-tick to avoid this massive recalculation. -- Ben In order to save my hands, I am cutting back on my mail. I also write as succinctly as possible -- please don't be offended. If you send me mail, you _will_ get a response, but please be patient, especially for XEmacs-related mail. If you need an immediate response and it is not apparent in your message, please say so. Thanks for your understanding. See also http://www.666.com/ben/typing.html.
