There are several ways to improve this performance, any subset of which can
be carried out at the same time:

1) If you don't need X Input Methods (XIM) for entering text in some
   language you use, you can improve performance on WAN links by
   configuring Emacs with option `--without-xim'.  Configuring Emacs
   without XIM does not affect the use of Emacs' own input methods, which
   are part of the Leim package.

2) If the connection is very slow, you might also want to consider
   switching off scroll bars, menu bar, and tool bar.

3) Use ssh to forward the X connection, and enable compression on this

   instead of requiring a round-trip for each X request in a seperate
   packet.  The switches that seem to work best for emacs are:
    -noatomsfile  -nowinattr  -cheaterrors -cheatevents
   Note that the -nograbcmap option is known to cause problems.

FreeBSD, but this can be changed using kbdcontrol(1).  Dump the

Windows uses UTF-16 encoding to deal with multilingual text (text not
encodable in the `system codepage') in the clipboard.  To deal with
this, load the library `utf-16' and use `set-selection-coding-system'
to set the clipboard coding system to `utf-16-le-dos'.  This won't
cope with Far Eastern (`CJK') text; if necessary, install the Mule-UCS
package (see etc/MORE.STUFF), whose `utf-16-le-dos' coding system does
encode a lot of CJK characters.

The %b specifier for format-time-string does not produce abbreviated
month names with consistent widths for some locales on some versions
of Windows. This is caused by a deficiency in the underlying system
library function.

argument "-x" from the variable `ldap-ldapsearch-args'.

* The `oc-unicode' package doesn't work with Emacs 21.

This package tries to define more private charsets than there are free
slots now.  If the built-in Unicode/UTF-8 support is insufficient,
e.g. if you need more CJK coverage, use the current Mule-UCS package.
Any files encoded as emacs-mule using oc-unicode won't be read
correctly by Emacs 21.

* Using epop3.el package causes Emacs to signal an error.

* The `oc-unicode' package doesn't work with Emacs 21.

This package tries to define more private charsets than there are free

flexible.  (Use option `utf-translate-cjk-mode' if you need CJK
support.)  Files encoded as emacs-mule using oc-unicode aren't
generally read correctly by Emacs 21.
