Re: Hang in process-send-string with nnimap

What do you mean by "doesn't work all the time"? Sometimes it hangs, sometimes it doesn't? Adam> Can _I_ do something about it (apart from coding it myself? Adam> :-) ). Profile it and see where the time's going (M-: (profile FORMS) RET or M-x profile-key-sequence SINGLE-COMMAND, where SINGLE-COMMAND may be bound to a sequence of several keys). Then M-x profile-results. In 21.4 and older 21.5 versions (maybe even the current one) you should do clear-profiling-info before doing a new run, otherwise the stats accumulate. It's arguable that that is very inaccurate, so Ben either changed 21.5 to clear-profiling-info before every M-x profile (and added a separate command for when you really want to accumulate the statistics), or is about to do so. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
