No, maybe there's worse... ;-((

... it does return `t'.

I realized I even used that fact to speed up things under
Windows, as done in my `.emacs' (comes from EmacsWiki):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; make anything minibuffer better input latency
(defadvice anything-check-minibuffer-input (around sit-for activate)
  (if (sit-for anything-idle-delay t)
      ad-do-it))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I commented that, and restarted Emacs to see if there was a
change for my problem. No. It did not change anything, except it
way slower now on Windows...

Thanks for your help,
  Seb
