Subject: 23.1; message-log-max ignored by display engine
Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 08:56:42 -0800

The display engine writes messages to *Messages* even when
`message-log-max' is nil (see bug #4835). This can reduce performance
considerably in some cases.
 
It would be good to fix this, so the variable is respected.
 
If for some reason it is not feasible to fix this, then please at
least fix the doc, to mention this. Neither the manual nor the doc
string say anything about the display code ignoring this variable.
