[slime-devel] presentations and speed

[Attila Lendvai]

dear list,

recently i've added a present-in-emacs and using that i've implemented
a slime-repl-log-appender in arnesi. it's cool to be able to inspect
the objects that were logged, but it made (x)emacs dog slow.

the cause is this:

(when slime-repl-enable-presentations
    ;; Respect the syntax text properties of presentations.
    (set (make-local-variable 'parse-sexp-lookup-properties) t))

which is enable to be able to handle the <>'s in presentations as ()'s
but only in presentations. this mail is more of a fyi then a real
question, but if there's anyone who has an idea how to implement this
feature without enabling 'parse-sexp-lookup-properties then it would
be cool to have both.
