Moving mails is very slow

Moving mails is very slow

[Felix Natter]

hello Gnus Experts,

Since emacs 27.1 (Debian 11.6), expiring mails (mark them with E, then
let these mails expire (from an nnml folder) to an nnml expired folder)
has become *much* slower.

This appears in *Messages*:

Wrote /home/felix/Mail/expired/118532
Deleting article 144227 in mail.misc
[...]

Can somebody please advise? Is it a known problem? Shall I report it?

Many Thanks and Best Regards,
Felix

Why not?

What did not experience it but I think I don't expire mails at
all, come to think of it. You get that much mail?

I did respool from one group to another a couple of times, but
that was pretty swift IIRC.

What version of Emacs do you have?

I have

  GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, cairo
  version 1.16.0) of 2022-12-26 [commit
  2ffe1494e16381cfc7fec95a6a0879f268df3e95]

and I'm also on Debian so try to upgrade if you are around
27.1 (!) and see what happens, maybe the problem is
solved, even.
