- I find saving files in emacs in my system to be
- very slow. After some investigation with the help
- of our systems administrator here, we discovered
- that emacs looks at a lock file created in
- /usr/local/emacs/lock in our environment. Apparently
- this seems to be the cause of the slowness while
- saving files. Has anyone experienced this problem?
-
- Is there a way to turn of locking mechanism from
- inside emacs by setting a variable or something
- like that?
-
- Thanks for any insight into this matter.
