Converting it from .aff and .dic to .spl and .sug takes 2.3 seconds here and 99 MB of RAM. Note that I need to patch the .aff files to actually make it work properly because vim doesn't implement all the same things hunspell does. I was looking at the libhunspell patch upstream, which seems to be going nowhere, the pull requests was closed because it wasn't complete and nobody seems to want to fix it. > On the other hand most hunspell dicts come from libreoffice-dicts and > do not provide a dict-common info file.

I have no idea what those files are used for, so I can't even test that they are correct or not. I assume that it might have something to do with emacs, but I'm a vim user, not an emacs user. Kurt
