It should be no need to reformat the files. If it can be fast, it should be fast, and if it get slow, this must mean that something is wrong - either in Emacs or in Org. Sometimes too many overlays can cause these problems. Maybe you can try these when it is slow: 1. Try to close all org-buffers before making the agenda. Does this help, maybe already on the first creation of the agenda, but certainly on the second? 2. Another try could be to cycle all Org buffer through visibility (three times S-TAB in each buffer). Does that make a difference? Mind you, this is not for everyday operations, but to help us find out what is wrong. - Carsten >=20 > Cheers, > Viktor >=20 > Susan Addy wrote: >=20 >> Also - it does not usually get faster right after it gets slower.
