Hi Eli,

.abbrev_defs here counts 18415 lines. Can't post it as such, as it may 
contain private data.
AFAIU the slowness is result of a proceeding, which reads/writes all 
available abbrev tables.

A solution would restrict that read/write to mode-abbrev table at stake, 
or better to single abbrev edited.
Maybe edit-abbrev should be changed into edit-all-abbrev-at-once - but 
discouraged.

Thanks,

Andreas
