Re: tramp (2.1.7) slow

Thanks for the reminder...  scp works fine.  For curiosity, I also tried ssh with C-h v tramp-chunksize to take a peek of the variable after saving a remote file.  It's nil.  However, when I tried the test script in the tramp-chunksize doc, it hit a dead-loop at:

 (while (not (progn (goto-char (point-min))
                             (re-search-forward "\\w+" (point-max) t)))
            (accept-process-output proc 1))

Perhaps my Emacs is so incompatible with the ssh method so I guess I'll stick to scp.

Cheers,
Peter.

What's your value of tramp-chunksize?  (Use C-h v to find out; it may also be useful to read the documentation you find there.  You may need to switch to the *tramp/foo* buffer before hitting C-h v.)

Some connections to remote hosts are flaky, and Tramp circumvents the problem by sending stuff slowly.  If tramp-chunksize is not nil, then you have a flaky connection.

One possibility is to use an out-of-band method (like scp) to transfer the files.  Then the file transfer itself happens by invoking the program scp.  Here the slow-down does not happen.

Oops... sorry...  First, the wrong title as I was trying to be lazy and just replied on other's msg.  Second, it seems that tramp verbose level 5 tells the spot - it's at "Decoding region into remote file...".

I guess this is unavoidable... or is there some Emacs modules that I have missed which renders the slow process?

Many thks,
Peter.

When saving remote files thru tramp ssh (2.1.7, running on Cygwin Emacs 21.3.50.1 ), my PC CPU surges to near 100% with both in/out network traffic peaking also.  By setting verbose level to 8, it seems to be stuck at "Tramp: process-buffer nil", then "Tramp: check-remote-echo nil".  At level 10, it stays pretty static at "Tramp: process-buffer nil", then blinks a few times for "Tramp: *tramp/ssh address@hidden run".

Actually, what was tramp trying to do?

Many thks.
Peter.
