Emacs seems to be very slow now, ever since version 19.23.
I use emacs on a DECstation 5000/25 running Ultrix 4.3a.

Here's the problem:
If I have hilighting turned on and start up emacs and load
a huge file (like hilit19.el or something), then open two
buffers (^X 2), then bring one buffer to the bottom (M >) of
the file, then go to the other buffer (the one that's still
at the top of the file), then try to move the cursor by hitting
^N a few times, it's painfully slow.

It also does way too much garbage collection.  When I have
a bunch of frames open, every time I go to do filename completion
it sits there for a bit and says garbage collecting then finally
displays the new results in the completion buffer, it takes a really
long time.

Does anyone know what's happening here?  Why is it so slow and klunky
now?  I noticed it doesn't happen in 19.22 and earlier so I figured it
might have something to do with the lucid stuff that's built in by
default in the newer versions but I compiled the newer versions without
it (--x-toolkit=none) and it's still really slow.

Please respond by e-mail.  Thanx!
