Gnus seems to like the newer environment. Things seem much smoother and updates to the group buffer when fetching mail and news are quicker. nnrss, however, works intermittently. Often when updating a group, Emacs will hang indefinitely. I mean _really_ hang -- if I have an external process going in the background (like mplayer through EMMS), the track will pause, and if I let Gnus run through its course (something eventually times out I guess), my erc sessions get disconnected. I'd say about 1 out of 5 times the updates to the nnrss groups are speedy and pleasant. I scored my RSS groups really low though because it's frustrating to constantly C-g. When I'm desperate for an update I M-g on the actual group, which for some reason hangs less often. I know the nnrss code is in flux right now, so if I have to live with this issue for a while I understand; I didn't want it to go unreported though. Or, it could be a bug with Emacs. Does the newer Emacs use a different method for fetching URLs than stable versions? -- aaraines@pobox.com (Andrew A. Raines)
