Bug Description
Binary package hint: emacs22-common
To reproduce: Download and gunzip the file
http://
Loading into emacs22 with
emacs _num.c
takes about 4 minutes of CPU time on a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo until the text appears. I have not .emacs file.
Ubuntu 9.04
The package is emacs22-common 22.20ubuntu2.
Uninstalling emacs22 and installing
emacs21 21.4a+1-5.6
fixes the problem (the file loads instantly).

Confirmed with emacs -Q, emacs22-gtk 22.2-0ubuntu2 on Jaunty (stopped counting after 5 minutes; it did finish loading eventually, and load decreased significantly at that point).
I have a vague recollection that I saw an upstream bug which looked a lot like this one, but wasn't able to find it in the Emacs bug tracker in spite of spending an hour browsing around. http:// emacsbugs. donarmstrong. com/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 3032 is not the one I was looking for, but might actually be the correct upstream bug for this particular case.
