So its probably been at least 2 mnths since I've run it. This time its different. It just runs forever (or at least says gnus-agent-expire in echo area. And emacs is building up a pretty good head of steam, showing 75 percent resource hogging after about 10 minutes. I measured the size of News... before starting, just out of habit, and left it runnning for a couple of hours... not really on purpose, just got busy on other virtual desktops and didn't notice it was still running. I did notice sluggishness... and finally started checking. Killed it with Ctrl-g rechecked the size of ~/News... no change at all. Still stready at 958M. There are no errors. I thought to update gnus to todays cvs.. although it wasn't more than a few wks old... No change... As it happens I'd updated emacs day before yesterday (I run the cvs 23 version). One thing I started doing fairly recently is running gnus from a running emacs --daemon. So I thought to take that out of the equation and killed it off, fired up gnus on new instance of emacs proper... not a daemon. no change. Can anyone give me a clue as to how to go about debugging this.
