Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] matlab-emacs slows down

[Sina T. <sin...@gm...>]

Dear Odd and Ondra,

I did manage to find an earlier (2011) discussion (propmpted by Ondra) of a
very similar problem, with very similar functions being implicated
(rendering error markup). The specific problem was that a
re-search-backward call was being made with a nil second argument, forcing
it search the buffer all the way back. The fix at the time was to
hard-limit the search. In the ~2013 version of matlab.el that I have, the
search was limited to 8192 chars back. As a temporary  measure I've limited
it even further to ~800 chars, to see if it makes a difference. Will let
you know if it does, and if not, will try your solution Odd.

Thanks for your help and suggestions,

Sina
