[emacs-wiki-discuss] planner/muse update speed

[Joseph Kiniry]

Hi all,

I am an old-school, multi-year planner/wiki/and now muse user.  I  
have many years of logs, thousands of old tasks, etc.  The new muse  
foundations are lovely and most things are working very well.

The one thing that is not working well is rendering updates when  
tasks are added or changed.  In particular, it seems that every page  
that is cross-referenced in a given page is re-fontified, even if it  
has not been changed.  This means that, particularly for my daily  
pages which typically have several dozen open tasks cross-referenced  
across a dozen or two pages, adding a single task and waiting for the  
fontification update takes a significant period of time even on my  
5GHz box. :)  Any chance that we can only re-render the specific  
pages that have been touched?

Sorry, I do not have the time to do this myself and submit a patch;  
my term starts next week and I am furiously prepping for my courses.   
I did do some legwork on it to figure out where things were going  
wrong, but didn't take notes at the time.

I am just starting to use the 3.39 test release; I have been using  
planner-muse stable snapshot from 22 Dec 2005.

I am happy to provide more details on my config if necessary.  I live  
inside of Emacs 22.0.50.1 on OS X 10.4.3.

Best,
Joe
