I'm running GNU emacs version 18.55 on a SparcStation 1 with 16 megs of memory running SunOS 4.1.1 (emacs was compiled under version 4.1). When editing a not very large file (say 80K) and killing a lot of text (going through the file and killing lots of lines, say a few hundred), emacs will often pause with the message "Garbage-collecting". It pauses far too often. Right now, editing the file described above (deleting lines, mostly), I find that it will garbage collect every five or so lines I delete! If I manuall do a garbage-collect, I get a little more uninterrupted editing time, but I shouldn't have to do that. What is wrong? Brian --- brian@cimage.com
