Re: Matthias Ettrich on (X)Emacs - 'Too slow'

Just yesterday I rediscovered after-change-functions, and used it to invoke jikes on my java buffer on every keystroke, then highlight all the errors that are reported. It was fun but I'll probably get annoyed soon and turn it off. I guess I'm just trying to say that most of the time, XEmacs is fast enough for me, and I can spend my cpu cycles doing something incredibly wasteful. ;) - Amit -- Amit J Patel, Computer Science Department, Stanford University http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/ ``Parkinson's Other Law: Perfection is achieved only at the point of collapse.''
