[O] Very slow execution, tangling and export with noweb and quick-and-dirty

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I have a rather extensive literate programming document with several
hundred code blocks. In two subtrees, I use :noweb. Each of these has one
noweb block which is located onder the first level header, and used several
times in the sub-sections of this tree.

But even with the quick-and-dirty option

,----
| #+BIND: org-babel-use-quick-and-dirty-noweb-expansion "t"
`----

execution, tangling and export takes very long (one block about 12
seconds, of which about 2 seconde=s max execution time of the code block).

Is this a general problem of noweb expansion? How can I make this
faster?

I really want to use the noweb, because the block is rather dynamic and
used several times in the subrtree.

Below the report from the profiler.

Any suggestions welcome,

Rainer
