Hi,
Here's an agenda custom command that acts as the main interface I interact
with org (in fact, emacs :)).
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("c" "Simple agenda view"
((agenda "")
(tags "PRIORITY=\"A\""
((org-agenda-files '("~/org/work.org" "~/org/ideas.org"))
(org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if
'todo 'done))
(org-agenda-overriding-header "High-priority tasks:")
))
(tags-todo "PRIORITY=\"C\""
((org-agenda-files '("~/org/work.org" "~/org/
ideas.org"))
(org-agenda-overriding-header "Long-term:")))
(alltodo ""
((org-agenda-skip-function
'(or (zongheng-org-skip-subtree-if-priority ?A)
(zongheng-org-skip-subtree-if-priority ?C)
(org-agenda-skip-if nil '(scheduled deadline))))
(org-agenda-overriding-header "Other tasks:")))
))))
After I get into this view, I frequently issue many "org-agenda-earlier" &
"org-agenda-later" commands, often in a back-and-forth fashion, to inspect
what I've done around certain periods.
In such a use case, it seems there's *no reason to not cache results*.
Without such caching currently *the latency of switching is really high*;
with such a caching, I'm happy to pay an one-time latency/CPU cost for the
first command, as long as successive commands can be sped up.
Is a feature like this planned?
Thanks,
Zongheng

I don't think is it planned. Feel free to implement it, if you want to.
I consider Org agenda in dire need of rewriting, though. for better
scalability and easier maintenance.

hehe we don't know if the rewrite will occur, or when. :]

for me, the biggest problem in all of emacs is the speed of 1-day and
2-day org agenda. [i never need 30 days, or if i do, i'm willing to
have that take quite a few minutes just so that the 1-day and 2-day
speeds are maximized.] i've done all of bastien's recommended speed
hacks and a couple more like turning off diary [which doesn't do much
but still].
regular text search is ok. it's only the one that has to parse
timestamps that is slow. profiling reveals nothing obvious so i
imagine it has been optimized thoroughly.
so for me, scalability means only scaling to more files [threading
useful here?] and larger files, and only for the daily agenda "a".
but i imagine a rewrite would maybe start from scratch.
