It takes far too long to create or open a file, save it, even mark it as modified. Opening a file using the native editor DM, or even MicroGnuEmacs, on the same system is orders of magnitude faster. Is this a GNU Emacs problem, or a problem with the installation on my system? Anyone seen this problem before, and know of a fix? I'm running GNU Emacs 18.30 on an Apollo DN3000 running DOMAIN/IX (Aegis SR9.2.5 and Unix BSD4.2). [This combination also exhibits the known "filelock" bug, which may or may not be related.] Thanx in advance... Ashwin Ram.
