Well, it takes up to 2 seconds to display the most complicated
structures on my ~100Mhz microsparc, which I believe is equivalent to
100Mhz 486 and quite a bit slower than your Indy.

The code has not been profiled yet, so there might be some savings
there.  However the library was not designed for speed.  Not that I
doesn't like speed, but part of the code stretches my capability as a
programmer, so I have had to concentrate my effort on making the
design and code as clear as possible in order to be able to maintain
it.

The `Set Default' button should set the default for all the options
that are currently marked as modified (i.e. [*]).

You also need to save the settings, either by pushing `Save', or
answering `yes' to the question on whether you want to save the
customizations when you leave emacs.

The settings are saved in `.emacs', `.custom.el' is no longer used.
