But the reasoning behind this was weak. Users who need to speed up their agenda commands are most probably long-time users and they will be able to stumble on the variables and/or on the worg page. New users expect the agenda to keep agenda files folded when running an agenda command, and to dim blocked tasks by default. So -- this is now the case: http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=c00a43 (Note that it's by the same reasoning that `org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance' is set to (todo search timeline agenda) instead of nil, which would speed up most agendas.) Sorry for the instability here in master. I also set `org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations' to nil by default, because it would surprise many users if they suddenly see new values in their clocktables. Thanks to Tassilo Horn and John Wiegley who let me rethink about all these defaults! -- Bastien
