22.2 slower than 21.3

Hi,

I just installed 22.2 (pre-built binary for Windows XP), but find it
slower than 21.3. I notice when opening C-files. I went straight back
to 21.3 now because of that.

I have not been following this group regularly, is this a well known
issue? Will this get faster in upcoming versions? The problem could
perhaps also be that the binary for Windows was built differently.
Have others seen the same as me?

How did you measure, that it is slower.

No, but you could try the 22.3 pretest binary from

http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/emacs-22.2.91-bin-i386.zip

and send a bug report if necessary.

I just noticed when opening a C source file I am working on. Counted
seconds now, see below.

There was a bug in older CC Modes which made it "necessary" to scan
entire buffers when loading them. It was this:

#########################################################################
put the following into
a C file, somewhere near the beginning:

#warning for isn't a keyword here.

This will foul up the font locking in the rest of the file. Even more
dramatically, insert this:

OK, didn't know there was a new CC-mode.

Correction: The problem below with SLIME is not there when I revert to
an older version of SLIME, so this is not an issue for this group.

Yes it does, I needed an older version of SLIME.
