- Regarding my previous message which was summarized by:
- >Emacs 18.58 runs *much* slower under GDB 4.6 than under GDB 4.5. I
- >can outtype Emacs running under GDB 4.6, but it runs at a normal speed
- >under GDB 4.5.

- Perhaps it will be helpful to say that the speed problem only occurs
- when using X windows. If I start Emacs so that it uses the termcap
- interface to the outside world, its speed is acceptable. For example,
- suppose your display is named pogo.cs.oberlin.edu:0.0:
-
- pogo$ gdb-4.6 -n xemacs
