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,

Try typing
M-: (org-agenda-files nil 'ifmode)
This will tell you how many (and which) files are being processed.

All the functions listed in the profile have an org-agenda prefix, presumably
because that's what you specified to elp. Can you repeat the profile but specify
an org prefix, so that *all* org functions are profiled?

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

It can be many things. My emacs was taking 6 minutes to open for some
years, due to many reasons: a slow computer, many org files and very large
(>100 files, >25 Mb in total), lack of optimizations from my side and from
org-mode's side. I got used to it but it's a very bad experience, specially
when it crashes (and I made it crash a lot).
Now org-mode has improved and I disabled the slow parts, and it opens very
fast (<20 seconds). I still open large files.
The problem may not only be in org but in emacs (e.g. vc-mode can be slow),
though from the instrumentation you send, it doesn't seem to be the case
because it doesn't spend time opening the files.
org-agenda-prepare-buffers is the slow function, so it's the one you should
check. Try to use edebug in it (C-u M-C-x) and run it slowly to see in
which section it's the slowest. Then optimize that part. You'll see many
optimization there (ignore properties, etc.). I had to disable many slow
things, like <<<radios>>> (when you use a lot, e.g. 1000 per file, it's too
slow and even crashes), I think that these radio targets were the main
reason of the slowness.
Try creating a very large file and then check opening it, to see if it's
also slow.
Try things in a clean emacs (e.g. starting with: emacs -Q), because you may
have some other mode enabled that wants to do lots of things when you open
the files.
You can test many more things. But keep testing, because it's possible to
make it work faster.

I finally found out the problem. I've been using Spacemacs and the
`spell-checking` layer would automatically initiate flyspell on each org
file, resulting in tremendous delay. If I disable flyspell from being
automatically activated, the agenda is shown in a few seconds.
