PS: From that ftp directory, you also get versions 4.0.0 and 4.2.0.

The profiling information Thomas collected shows that only miniscule amounts of time are being spent executing XEmacs code. I think it is more likely that we are triggering some bad kernel or library behavior. Thomas, can you try building a version without Motif support? -- Jerry James http://loganjerry.googlepages.com/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
