Regarding my previous message which was summarized by: >Emacs 18.58 runs *much* slower under GDB 4.6 than under GDB 4.5. I >can outtype Emacs running under GDB 4.6, but it runs at a normal speed >under GDB 4.5. Perhaps it will be helpful to say that the speed problem only occurs when using X windows. If I start Emacs so that it uses the termcap interface to the outside world, its speed is acceptable. For example, suppose your display is named pogo.cs.oberlin.edu:0.0: pogo$ gdb-4.6 -n xemacs GDB is free software and you are welcome to distribute copies of it under certain conditions; type "show copying" to see the conditions. There is absolutely no warranty for GDB; type "show warranty" for details. GDB 4.6, Copyright 1992 Free Software Foundation, Inc... (gdb) run -nw -q Starting program: /u/src/emacs/19.0/src/xemacs -nw -q <emacs runs fine> Program exited normally. (gdb) run -display pogo.cs.oberlin.edu:0.0 -q Starting program: /u/src/emacs/19.0/src/xemacs -display pogo.cs.oberlin.edu:0.0 -q <emacs runs real slow> Program exited normally. (gdb)
