Subject: large *Gnus Backlog* buffer
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2020 12:34:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <874kpzpyvf.fsf@ucl.ac.uk> (raw)
Hello all,
I tend to start up emacs and keep it running, with gnus, for days if not
weeks. Today, I checked out Emacs's memory usage (M-x memory-usage RET)
and found that I have a ~ *Gnus Backlog*~ buffer that is >70MB in
size. Not a real worry on most of my systems but I'm curious:
1. what function does this buffer have in gnus?
2. can this be pruned back (manually or otherwise)?
thank you,
eric
