In addition to being the Right Thing to do, this noticeably improves the time taken to display the first page of search results, since it's roughly an order of magnitude faster than the JSON parser. Interestingly, it does *not* significantly improve the time to completely fill a large search buffer because for large search buffers, the cost of creating author invisibility overlays and inserting text (which slows down with more overlays) dominates. However, the time required to display the first page of results is generally more important to the user experience. --- emacs/notmuch.el | 13 +++---------- test/emacs | 10 +++------- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch.el b/emacs/notmuch.el index b8d9c44..5a8c957 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch.el @@ -58,6 +58,7 @@ (require 'notmuch-hello) (require 'notmuch-maildir-fcc) (require 'notmuch-message) +(require 'notmuch-parser) (defcustom notmuch-search-result-format `(("date" .
