Re: [feature proposal] Headline caching via org-element-cache = up to 2.5x performance boost

Hi  Ihor,

I’ve just read through your description, and this sounds very promising! Many
thanks for going to the effort of tracking down this performance issue and
/actually making a patch to address it/.

As someone who tangles massive literate config this sounds like it could make
quite a noticeable improvement. To test this, do I need to do anything more than
just apply your patch?

All the best,

p.s. I’m marking this as a patch on the tracker, since it is one :P
