I&#39;m using the following org agenda custom command, with a relatively small org-mode text file, and agenda creation is taking around 3-4 seconds, it becomes unbearably worse if I modify stuck-projects to also use properties searches)<br>

<br><i><b>Is there anything I can change to speed up the commands execution; or developer changes to org-mode?</b></i><br><br><br>(setq org-agenda-custom-commands<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#39;((&quot;h&quot; &quot;Next Action&quot;<br>

<br>I understand there&#39;s a way to removed scheduled items from TODO agenda generations, but this doesn&#39;t apply to TAGS agenda generations. So in order to accomplish this in tags, I&#39;ve added -SCHEDULED&gt;\&quot;&lt;2000-01-01&gt;\&quot; meaning, &#39;does not have a SCHEDULED property&#39;<br>
<br>Overall, isn&#39;t there any way to speed up property queries? <br>If the property query is generating some kind of index, is there a way to keep this indexed cached for the subsequent property query in this overall agenda page generation?<br>
<br>Cheers,<br>Jason<br><br>P.S. This being my first post on the mailing list, org-mode is absolutely amazing &amp; invaluable!<br><br>
