Yes, I agree :( On my desktop, it takes a /trivial/ amount of time, definitely under a second. But the Asus is much much slower, especially as most of the system resides on an SD memory card which is not particularly fast. I should say that the .org files searched by the agenda take up about 0.5 MB. > > When in agenda view, when org-agenda-goto-date is invoked (typically > > with 'j'), the agenda view is regenerated for today's date > > regardless of > > which date I am currently viewing, before allowing me to input a date. > > I don't think I can reproduce this. Which part can you not reproduce? Even on my fast desktop, if I'm viewing the daily agenda for May 10th (say), when I hit 'j', I get the calendar window displayed, the agenda window updates to show the current date's agenda items and I can then type in a new date in the mini-buffer. This happens quite quickly but it *does* happen. On the Asus, it all happens much much more slowly. Removing what seems to me to be a redundant agenda view update would speed things up tremendously. It's not unbearable because the benefits of using org-mode are well worth it but it does mean that I use org-mode more cautiously on the Asus than I would otherwise. I will delve into the org-agenda code!
