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

[Joseph Kiniry]

Hi Jim,

I see no change in behavior with this small patch.

E.g., if I go to a given day my moving to a calendar day (I link  
calendar to planner) I still see "Highlighting buffer...." messages  
for every muse buffer mentioned in the day page regardless of whether  
or not that page is actually loaded into emacs.   On my current day  
page this takes nearly 30 seconds.  It seems the pages are loaded,  
highlighted, then saved, even though nothing was touched.
