Cool, thanks.

Yes, it's roughly five times longer than it took under 5.8.7 as an
unmeasured estimate.  The slowdown was really dramatic; it's not just a
matter of a half-second here and there.

I'm not quite following what you're saying here; do you think this is due
to marks?  Setting nnml-marks-is-evil and then pressing "g" again resulted
in no noticeable time difference, but is that too late to change the
setting?
