Thanks. But again, just to be clear:
All folders in Tex-check-path (("." "/var/lib/texmf/tex/" "/usr/share/texmf/tex/" "/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/" "/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/bibtex/bst/")) are on my local machine
which has an ext3/4 file system. Only the *.tex files of the
document (and all the *.log, *.bib etc) files are on a remote
samba share. If I understand you correct, these files would not
cause the delay. So what is causing the delay?
Thanks

Hi Jannis,
Sorry for beeing insistent,
Sorry, I've had no time to come back to you until now.
but is there any way to solve this? All files in tex path do not seem
to be on a nfs mount.
But as you've said below in your last message:
See above. Could this also be related to the location of the *.tex
file? I mount some remote samba share via VPN to my file system and
all the files Latex uses are located there. Maybe the change in speed
that i noticed is not due to me updating my system but due to me
changing my physical location. Before I worked at a place where these
files were located in the local network and were not acessed over the
internet.
Well, that means that AUCTeX does more than thousand file-exists-p
checks on files that are accessed via network. Not astonishing that
this is slow. (NFS was just an example. Samba is quite similar.)
Is this also crucial for the *.tex etc files of the document beeing
worked on?
No.
Ok, so how to solve the problem?
1. You could check if there's some optimization/caching option for
samba that speeds up file existance checks.
2. Install a TeX distro locally.
Bye,
Tassilo
