Yes, this makes epoch do fewer garbage collections, thanks.
However, when it does eventually need to garbage collect, I'd guess it
would have more work to do and take longer?

I noticed that in lucid, my gc-cons-threshold is the default 100000, and
I don't need to raise this value for things to fly..

[I've just done a quick comparison on a Sparc 2 with 32 Mb memory]
Lucid seems to instantly paint new screen-fulls of text when scrolling,
whereas epoch seems to lag a little. The garbage collection was the main
problem I had. What do I lose by setting gc-cons-threshold high? - why
isn't the default a million?

Will epoch support highlighting the current region in a similar way to
lucid?

Thanks,
