Bug#552981: emacs23: toplevel interaction is extremely slow

[Vladimir Komendantsky]

Package: emacs23
Version: 23.1+1-4
Severity: important

I've found that computations involving calls to a language toplevel
take at least 3 times longer in emacs 23.1 compared to emacs 22.3. In
both cases I use the same ProofGeneral mode version 3.7 that comes
with Debian squeeze.

As a result, I have to revert to emacs 22.3 to retain productivity.

Regards,
Vladimir

Can you elaborate on the problem?
