The suggestion is to add the following line to dot-emacs<br /><pre>
; try to improve slow performance on windows.
(setq w32-get-true-file-attributes nil)
</pre></p>
<p>This solution appeared to work on the machine I tried in Cameroon.</p>
<p>I suggest we add this line to our Emacs code (though this might interfere with an emacs expert's own dot-emacs?)</p>
<p>Of course, we cannot really test this...</p> CoCoA-5 - Slug #1109: Emacs UI can be slow in M$ Windowshttps://cocoa.dima.unige.it/redmine/issues/1109?journal_id=65722017-11-15T16:05:31ZJohn Abbott

<p>I cannot test it on Microsoft Windows, but simply hope that it does the job.<br />Closing.</p>
