Hello this seems absurd. When I try to execute (remove-hook 'write-file-hooks 'x-symbol-write-hook) The x-symbol-write-hook is not removed. I suspect this hook makes editing not-so-small LaTeX files slow, when x-symbol-mode is enabled. When I disable x-symbol-mode the hooks is still around and I presume that is why the performance is still bad. Any ideas? thanks Uwe Brauer _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
