Re: Slow startup on Redhat 6.2

The fact that setting display improves startup speed suggests that it is in fact the IPv6 CNAME lookup that is causing the slowdown. This means that you must be timing out on the DNS requests. As PROBLEMS says, if you can arrange that either (1) the DNS connections succeed quickly (they don't need to actually find your host, just return something from the nameserver AFAIK) or (2) you have no nameservers configured at XEmacs startup, you'll be OK. I suspect setting DISPLAY is more attractive, though. I've suggested a command-line flag + configure option solution, but that will probably take some time to implement, and will not be released for a while. See the thread "21.4 hangs in the absence ..." Carl> BTW, upgraded to 21.4.0 now, same behavior. I expected that, the code hasn't changed. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
