Hmmm ... just tested on Tumbleweed and Leap 15.2, that is current GNU Emacs 27.1 from OBS and GNU Eamcs 25.3 from standard Leap 15.2 installation. I used the commmand cd /usr/src/linux && time find ... and the Tumbleweed is much faster, to say it is very fast. Whereas on Leap 15.2 I see the status line (Grep: run Compiling) and have to wait. As I use tcsh I see on Tumbleweed as result of time 0.042u 0.065s 0:04.96 2.0% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w and on Leap 15.2 0.176u 0.223s 0:17.02 2.2% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w I've repeated that several times to get the trees below /usr/src/linux into cache
