Ray Toy is seeing this behaviour under Solaris (2.7?):
When font-locking a buffer the progress gauge moves very slowly unless one
moves the mouse around at the same time.
I need to know whether anyone is using a similar configuration and whether
they are or are not seeing the problem. For instance HPUX + widgets + Motif
would do fine. If others are not seeing the problem it may be indicative of
SIGIO wierdness under Solaris. I do not have the problem under cygwin +
motif, but then SIGIO is broken on that platform. I also do not have the
problem under Linux + Athena but then it may be Motif related.
Thanks
