Subject: Ridiculously long (2 minutes) startup time for org agenda
Date: Sun, 18 Feb 2018 13:38:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <54c5ef75-acac-22c6-9d6f-9b1399ce281d@xiangji.me> (raw)
Hello, first time posting on the mailing list. I encountered a problem
where my agenda view (`C-c a a`) is taking ridiculously long (nearly 2
minutes) to be shown the first time. From the second time onwards, the
time is about 11 seconds, which is still very long by any means.
I wondered whether it has something to do with me having many files in
the agenda list, so I tried to restrict the list to just one file. But
still the first call to org-agenda-list took 12 seconds. This shouldn't
be normal, right?
The following are shown in the `Messages` buffer during the call.
```
Press key for agenda command:
Restoring clock data
Loading /home/jx/.emacs.d/.cache/org-clock-save.el (source)...done
[yas] Prepared just-in-time loading of snippets successfully.
Importmagic and/or epc not found. importmagic.el will not be working.
Setting up indent for shell type zsh
Indentation variables are now local.
Indentation setup for shell type zsh
Using vacuous schema
Shell native completion is disabled, using fallback
```
I'm not sure why they would be there, especially the "using vacuous
schema" and "shell native completion" part. Are the messages related to
some `#BEGIN_SRC` blocks in the org files? I don't think I would ever
need source code blocks when I'm viewing an agenda buffer?
I posted the question [on
Emacs.SE](https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/30489/what-could-cause-org-agenda-to-take-very-long-to-start-up)
and somebody suggested me use `elp-instrument` to perform a profiling.

I'm not sure if that says much though.
Version information:
- Emacs: `GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
3.18.9) of 2018-02-18`
- Orgmode: `Org mode version 9.1.6 (9.1.6-44-ge6f891-elpaplus @
/home/jx/.emacs.d/elpa/develop/org-plus-contrib-20180205/)`.
- I'm using [Spacemacs'](https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs) develop
branch.
However, this problem happens on both Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and the latest
MacOS. Actually it has persisted for a very long period of time so I
doubt if it's related to any particular Emacs/Org version.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Best regards,
Xiang
