Q5.1.11: My elisp program is horribly slow. Is there

an easy way to find out where it spends time?

Under XEmacs 20.4 and later you can use M-x profile-key-sequence, press a key (say RET in the Gnus Group buffer), and get the results using M-x profile-results. It should give you an idea of where the time is being spent.
