I don't have any concrete ideas on how to speed it up on the Widget
library side. But looking at the defcustom for
bibtex-biblatex-entry-alist I noted two things that can help to create
the Customize buffer more quickly:
1) It uses a custom widget derived from the lazy widget, but doesn't
provide a :tag. That makes it look awful and giving it a proper :tag
reduced
the buffer creation time somewhat in my testings.
2) More importantly, the bibtex-entry-alist widget looks like this:
(define-widget 'bibtex-entry-alist 'lazy
"Format of `bibtex-BibTeX-entry-alist' and friends."
:type '(repeat (group (string :tag "Entry type")
(string :tag "Documentation")
(repeat :tag "Required fields"
(group (string :tag "Field")
(option (choice :tag "Comment"
:value nil
(const nil) string))
(option (choice :tag "Init"
:value nil
(const nil)
string function))
(option (choice :tag
"Alternative" :value nil
(const nil)
integer))))
(repeat :tag "Crossref fields"
(group (string :tag "Field")
(option (choice :tag "Comment"
:value nil
(const nil) string))
(option (choice :tag "Init"
:value nil
(const nil)
string function))
(option (choice :tag
"Alternative" :value nil
(const nil)
integer))))
(repeat :tag "Optional fields"
(group (string :tag "Field")
(option (choice :tag "Comment"
:value nil
(const nil) string))
(option (choice :tag "Init"
:value nil
(const nil)
string function))
(option (choice :tag
"Alternative" :value nil
(const nil)
integer)))))))
Why combine option and choice? That's redundant, specially since the
choice widget allows for the nil value. Removing the `option's and just
leaving the `choice's should be equivalent in functionality, and in my
testings reduced the creation time to the half.
I ran customize-option 5 times and got:
With `option':
(172.526219636 69 6.120602505999997)
Without `option':
(86.260726994 42 3.5430049540000113)
This is without native compilation.
Based on the above results and since there's no lost in functionality, I
propose to make the changes to the bibtex-entry-alist widget. It is a
net gain in speed, and it might make the wait bearable.
