Figured out the delay; turns out it didn't have anything to do with font-lock mode and instead had to do with the fact that new XEmacs defaults to saving killed text in the X clipboard, which is painfully slow and completely not worth doing (at least the way that I use Gnus). A simple: (setq interprogram-cut-function nil) (setq interprogram-paste-function nil) takes care of it. I'm back to using 21.4.6 full time, so I'll start watching for those crashes again and try to get more debugging information if they happen. They appear to coincide with the loading of byte-optimize, but don't happen all the time. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu)
