Quoting Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)xemacs.org>:
The problem is that people who tried it claim that XEmacs 21.5 is
much
*slower* than 21.4, especially for Gnus. That's why I was reluctant
to even include it in the comparison.
I've been following this list since almost one year now and I recall
that Ben Wing used to post performance improvement patches for 21.5
at the beginning of 2005 (split out of a bigger patch on request of
other XEmacs developers). Have they ever been applied?
