Hi, The upstream BTS claims that all the performance problems of rst.el were fixed shortly after the 0.5 release (which I just uploaded to experimental).
However, I don't (know how to) use emacs, and as far as I know neither does my co-maintainer... Would you mind trying out an updated version of rst.el? Please replace it with the one from: http://git.debian.org/?p=users/smcv/python-docutils.git;a=blob_plain;f=tools/editors/emacs/rst.el;hb=3ec4b5fc5d512f221b1916de123cfaef2e2ce5d3 If this works better for you than the one in experimental, I'll apply the corresponding patch in the 0.5-2 upload (which might go to unstable, if we think we can get it into lenny before the freeze). Thanks, Simon
