Hello,
In one of my Org files, I have 20 small tables. Among them, 11 have
a line of formula's (TBLFM), mainly for computing a total (sum), so
that's in essence relatively standard and simple.
The file in itself is quite big (11,000 lines), but I did not expect to
see that re-applying formulas to all of them would take 30 seconds... at
every save... since I did add the following to my `.emacs' file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defmacro measure-time (message &rest body)
"Measure the time it takes to evaluate BODY."
`(let ((time (current-time)))
,@body
(message "__%s (in %.02f s)___________________________"
,message (float-time (time-since time)))))
(defun my/org-update-buffer ()
"Update all dynamic blocks and all tables in the buffer."
(interactive)
(when (derived-mode-p 'org-mode)
(message "(Info) Update Org buffer %s"
(file-name-nondirectory (buffer-file-name)))
(sit-for 1.5)
(let ((flyspell-mode-before-save flyspell-mode))
(flyspell-mode -1) ; Temporarily disable Flyspell to
; avoid checking the following
; modifications of the buffer.
(measure-time "Updated all dynamic blocks"
(org-update-all-dblocks))
(measure-time "Re-applied formulas to all tables"
(org-table-iterate-buffer-tables))
(when flyspell-mode-before-save (flyspell-mode 1)))))
;; Make sure that all dynamic blocks and all tables are always up-to-date.
(add-hook 'before-save-hook 'my/org-update-buffer)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Is my observation shared?
Best regards,
Seb

Try this:
# -*- cache-long-scans: nil; -*-
# This makes forward-line much faster and thus org-goto-line
# and thus org-table-sum (C-c +)
My org file is 9990 lines without any tblfmt but I do summations on
columns on small tables once a week (invoicing for the week).
The speed of C-c + was driving me nuts.

Sadly, yes but setting cache-long-scans made me happy again.

It looked like like Gnus failed when sending my reply the last time, so
sorry if this post comes twice.
Try this:
# -*- cache-long-scans: nil; -*-
# This makes forward-line much faster and thus org-goto-line and
# thus org-table-sum (C-c +)
My org file is 9990 lines and I just do weekly summations on small
tables used for invoices. The performance was driving my crazy but
setting cache-long-scans to nil has made me happy again.
Best regards,
Jacob

Euh... It went down (no suspense anymore) from:
__Re-applied formulas to all tables (in 33.32 s)___________________________
to:
__Re-applied formulas to all tables (in 0.21 s)___________________________
Well, that's an HUGE improvement! I couldn't believe my eyes...
I'll let-bind this variable in my above function, so that I don't have
to hardcode this anywhere...
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Seb
