Re: [Orgmode] Viper-mode + orgmode + emacs 23.xx on OSX, slowness in insert-mode

[Michael Brand]

Hi Marcelo, hi all

I think I have drilled down this slowness to be related with
viper-mode color settings but now I can not help more. Since it seems
to be a problem only in org-mode I hope that someone with a Mac OS X
Cocoa Emacs 23 here on the list can analyze this further.

I noticed only now that I have this slowness when I start a Mac OS X
Cocoa Emacs 23.2.1 with -q. With my settings it happened only
sporadically every few weeks or months and disappeared I think after
closing the buffer and reopening the file.

Now I drilled down the slowness to be related with my color setting.
When I have no or an empty ~/.emacs and a ~/.viper with this content:

(setq viper-inhibit-startup-message 't)
(setq viper-expert-level '3)
(setq viper-vi-state-cursor-color     "sea green")
(setq viper-insert-state-cursor-color "sea green")

and enter viper-mode before or after opening a file in org-mode the
slowness disappears. When I uncomment only one of the two lines above
with the viper-*-state-cursor-color and restart Emacs the slowness is
back. When I stay in the buffer and change its major mode from
org-mode to fundamental-mode the slowness disappears again.

In a Linux GNU Emacs 23.2.1 I can not observe such slowness.
