Hallo,
I use Emacs 23.2.1 and org-mode 7.5. After some time, usually after a
few days of 'uptime', building an agenda becomes very sloooow. I expect
the agenda built from 120 org file to show up within five seconds. If
Emacs is in the bad state it takes three minutes. Restarting Emacs
solves the problem.
I don't blame org-mode for that behaviour, but maybe someone of you has
observed such behaviour, too? Any hints on debugging? Building the
agenda results in more than 60k stat syscalls. Mostly /etc/localtime is
stat'ted and the org files. That is strange, but not different if all
works as expected.
Regards
hmw

Five seconds still seems like a long time. How many lines are in your
agenda? Are your org buffers already open when you call it? Or have you
closed your org buffers by typing "x" in the agenda?

it's a custom agenda that collects all appointments for the next four
weeks:
( "z" "Appointments for the next four weeks" agenda ""
((org-agenda-skip-function
(lambda nil
(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'nottodo '("APPT"))))
(org-agenda-ndays 28)
(org-agenda-include-diary nil )))

OK, five seconds is an upper boundary, it might take more like three
seconds or so. I count twentyone, twentytwo, ... to 'measure' the
duration of the operation. With this higly accurate method I can't
observe much difference if I started with loaded org files or not.

Ah, nice. Now I have to wait til the misbehaviour occurs again.

Well, for me, a monthly view (equivalent to your 4 week view?)

;)
That is my most used agenda view. It shows my appointments and I use it
every time I make an appointment. My machine is a little bit faster than
yours:
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2390 @ 1.86GHz
The agenda view could be faster, of course, especially if a customer is
at the phone for an appointment and you have to scroll back and forth a
few times. But it works.

A monthly view does indeed take a long time to appear. Skip functions
are very useful but, alas, not particularly efficient. This command
first considers all entries (SCHEDULED, DEADLINE, timestamp) that fall
within the next 28 days and then selects only those entries with the
keyword APPT.
Might I ask whether your appointments are all timestamps or diary sexps
(as opposed to SCHEDULED or DEADLINE entries)? If so, adding the
following setting to the command may speed things up a bit:
(org-agenda-entry-types '(:timestamp :sexp))
Best,
Matt
