Any one ever try running xemacs over a slow link? Once in a while, I
connect to my home box over a broadband cable connection. The uplink
speed is about 300 kbps (downlink is 3-5 Mbps).
XEmacs itself is really quite usable over this link, except for one
thing. The toolbar keeps redrawing itself over and over everytime I
change buffers.
Yes, even when the toolbar doesn't change because the new buffer is in
the same mode as the old buffer, it redraws itself. This is
especially annoying when using Gnus. I agree that it's annoying, but
I've never gone digging through the code to find out why it happens.
Is that supposed to happen? It takes a good 5 sec or more to redraw
the default toolbar.
Of course, I rarely use the toolbar, so I can just turn it off via the
menu (which works just fine at this slow speed).
That's what I did, which is why I forgot about the problem.
