I don't know when this started, it may not be related at all, but I'll mention it just in case: Recently I got annoyed by hearing my harddisk make a lot of noise every time I pressed 'g' in Gnus - when checking for new news on the three news-servers I use - so I tried strace'ing XEmacs/Gnus. (I was expecting it to be rather silent when checking news-servers over the net...) Gnus was trying to opening a lot of files every time I pressed 'g' - from the names I gathered that it could be something to do with the Agent (.agentview?), so I went to the server-buffer and unagentized everything. (I don't use any functionality of the Agent, that I know of, but back when it became on by default I didn't turn it off). That change has made the harddisk-noise while checking for new news go away. Now I only hear noise when mail is being split and stored, and after that none of the previous 'hitting the harddisk' occurs. I don't know if this is significant, to be expected, or something else entirely, but there you go. This observation is based on a the cvs-gnus I'm posting this article with, last updated, uh, this summer; No Gnus v0.3, XEmacs 21.4 (patch 15). I should probably update.
