Hi all,
For some reason file operations have become very slow inside emacs
starting yesterday. It's especially painful when saving a file
that's managed by mercurial (more than 20 seconds!), but I've seen
it on the command line as well (x-server takes a similar amount of
time to start, for example). I'm running the latest everything and
I've run rebaseall. I verified that Windows Defender did not
silently re-enable itself since I last disabled it (you can't
actually uninstall it) and no other BLODA are present on my machine.
The problem persists across reboots.
I have vague memories that this has turned up in the past (maybe
12-15 months ago?) but Google isn't turning up anything. Attaching
strace to emacs during the save makes it take a full 35 seconds and
reports the following:
$ cat emacs.strace | awk '{if ($1> 1000000) { print }}' | grep -v
