[comp.emacs] Bug in view.el?

tro@adiron.UUCP (Tom Olin) (07/05/89)

I have noticed that there is a delay of a few seconds when view.el displays the
end (last screen) of a file.  Prior screenfuls update readily, but the last one
appears to hesitate.  A cursory glance at view.el showed nothing obvious.  Any
ideas?

In one version of a view.el, when you got to the end of a file it displayed a
message telling what key to use to do something.  Looking up keys is very
expensive.

I commented out the substitute-command-keys call and the problem disappeared.
Thanks for the tip.
