Where we simulate text properties using extents, FSF Emacs uses balanced trees, offering an order-of-magnitude better performance. As for redisplay, I cannot fathom how it can be plenty fast for anyone who tries to display anything other than plain text. I disagree, at least in the case of applications I am encountering. I think that the new direction of XEmacs will likely cause another split. I would prefer a loosely Common Lisp-based XEmacs, perhaps built on top of clisp. We are bound to disagree here. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Be nice to your kids.
