"A few seconds" is a long time when it repeats all the time.
But it is only once per XEmacs session, and it is very small in
comparison with the time I actually spend reading the documentation.
it very annoying. (And I also wonder about the memory footprint,
but
I'm repeating myself here.)
We give the memory of destroyed buffers back don't we?

How do I do that?
Don't use unstable versions of distributions (although I need to see
whether the transition is complete enough, come potato release time).
Alternatively, ask "your sysadmin" to run a tool to rebuild the
system-wide dir files (Unfortunately the only such tools seems to be XEmacs).

What's ~/.xemacs?
A convenient directory for XEmacs to write stuff too, such as
precomputed help tables of contents.
