Variable: flyspell-large-region

flyspell-large-region is a customizable variable defined in flyspell.el.gz.

Value

1000

Documentation

The threshold that determines if a region is small.

If the region is smaller than this number of characters, flyspell-region checks the words sequentially using regular flyspell methods. Else, if the region is large, a new Ispell process is spawned for speed.

Doubled words are not detected in a large region, because Ispell does not check for them.

If this variable is nil, all regions are treated as small.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 21.1.
