RE: [[email protected]: [ilisp - Help] very sl ow with clisp]

Wasn't this specific problem already answered recently on the CLISP list? 

Here's the reply with the fix:

 The following patch seems to avoid this behaviour.
ilisp-snd.el is the file edited by me and ilisp-snd.old.el is the one that
comes with the ilisp-5.12.0 distribution:

diff ilisp-snd.el ilisp-snd.old.el
611c611
<               (sit-for 0 1 t)
---
>            ;; (sit-for 0)  ; 19990912 Pretty useless.

So edit the file ilisp-snd.el and recompile ilisp.

P.S. I sent this bug report to <EMAIL: PROTECTED> but haven't
got any anwer yet.

Hope that helps.

problem:
When I start the top level in emacs using F4, it takes about 20 seconds to
initialize
clisp. Then, every time I type a function name it takes about 5-10 seconds
before
I can continue typing. I guess it is finding the arg list or something??
Also,
when it starts it skips line [1], then goes to line [2], then to line [11].
What is going on here? Any ideas about how to fix this?

Here is a listing from an emacs ilisp clisp session indicating slowness with
<<10s>> to show a delay of aout 10 seconds.

Starting c:/clisp-2.29/lisp.exe -B c:/clisp-2.29/ -M
c:/clisp-2.29/lispinit.mem
- -ansi -I -q ...
ILISP V5.12.0  Use M-x ilisp-bug for problems and suggestions.
;; Loading file C:\cygwin\home\jason\_clisprc.lisp ...
;; Loading of file C:\cygwin\home\jason\_clisprc.lisp is finished.

[2]> <<20s>>(defun<<10s>> xxxx (x) (*<<10s>> 2 x))
XXXX
[11]> (xxxx<<10s>> 3)
6
[12]> 

set up:
WinNT, emacs 21.2.1, clisp 2.29 (default), LispWorks 4.2.0 (licensed
version),
ilisp 5.12.0
install using directions from The Common Lisp Cookbook
http://cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net/windows.html
also, I use the cua and ido packages.

Thanks
