Hi list, I found quite a few people in their .emacs setting gc-cons-threshold to a different value than the default 400000. I wonder if there is a guidance for setting this value. Thanks, -- Leo <sdl.web AT gmail.com> (GPG Key: 9283AA3F)

...errors such as with `max-specpdl-size' being too small/high (depending on the case). Does it sound possible to you ? If you are asking whether it would make sense to change the GC limit after max-specpdl-size errors, then no, I don't see any connection between those two. Then, I will revert such a change into my .emacs. Thank you very much. Xavier -- http://...
