I'm working with a series of files (its actually a website that I'm converting into a pdf, and exporting it from org-mode), and its becoming positively glacial in operation! And I think that 'wc-mode' is the culprit. And wc-mode is shown as a dependency in the paradox package-manager system.

So how can I either remove it, or negate its showing its effects in every org-mode file please?

I've commented it out in my config, but I'm still feeling its effects somehow.

Thanks
Sharon.
