A bit of VC speleology showed this:
eb6a66b5 src/alloc.c (Richard M. Stallman 1995-07-19 03:39:43 +0000 6734)
gc_cons_threshold = 100000 * sizeof (Lisp_Object);
So the current value of gc_cons_threshold comes from 1995. Today's
low-end machines are several times faster than high-end workstations at
that time.
So maybe it is worth experimenting with higher values. I'll do like
Bozhidar Batsov and set gc-cons-threshold to some large value and see
how it goes. I'm a flx user too.
