Move of one article took ten (10) seconds, which IMHO is a bit too much. I calculated that moving all the marked articles (there was about 28000 of them) would have taken 77 hours -- not good, so I terminated the operation. Could I move them outside Gnus? Something like getting the list of filenames of marked articles and then moving them simply with `mv' and re-generating neccessary status information so that Gnus knows the new picture of things. Or something. Possible? -- Hannu
