Re: [PATCH 21.4] Make syntax tables a compile time option.

Andy> It didn't make any difference to indentation IIRC. Font-lock Andy> maybe. Oh. Well, I have yet to see anything that makes a difference to indentation if I turn off font lock. The one reproducible recipe I have with a really clear difference (in TraverseSchema.java from Xerces, splitting line 8942, the declaration of reportSchemaError, after the comma, "good" is 14 seconds, "bad" is 65 seconds) shows no difference unless I enable fontification of large files. Then toggling either lookup-syntax-properties or font-lock-mode gives a big win on newline-and-indent. I haven't tried with any of the lazy-lock packages, but I don't think that will tell us much anyway. Interestingly enough, deletion of the whitespace is invariably much less costly (never more than about 2 seconds, although subjectively it seems slower when font-lock is active). -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
