Hmm... this sounds like this bug: http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3441 but that was fixed before the release.
Fascinating. It's certainly related. I tried this:
(setq compilation-error-regexp-alist nil) (setq compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist nil)
Which reduced the delay significantly. The minibuffer flickers a bit while displaying the "fontifying" message, but this made things usable again. Thanks :)
Is there an easy way to prevent SLIME compilation messages from getting fontified using those regexps at all? I'm hoping for a lighter-weight solution than just clobbering these variables.
How many messages are in the compilation buffer?
None, actually. The compilation buffer just says "0 compiler notes:".
Do you have some unusual filenames?
Not at all. 5-10 characters, all ASCII letters.
