** Known issues

-- Mentor used to have performance issues when there were several hundreds or
- thousands of torrents. So I wrote a patch for xml-rpc.el to add support for
- Emacs built-in libxml support, which was helpfully merged by the xml-rpc.el
- maintainer Mark A. Hershberger. This improved performance by a factor
- of 100. Make sure you upgrade to Emacs 27.1, build it with libxml support,
and
- use the latest xml-rpc.el version to benefit from this speed increase.
+- Mentor can be slow if Emacs was not built with ~libxml~ support. This
+ typically happens only when there are several hundreds, or even thousands, of
+ torrents loaded in rtorrent. Use an Emacs built with ~libxml~ support to
+ avoid this issue. (Support for ~libxml~ was added in Emacs 27.1.)
