P-II 400, 288MB RAM 100: ~ 0.75 seconds 1000: ~ 1.25 seconds 15000: ~ 2 seconds 25000 (or 54000): ~ 7 seconds 17710: ~ 15 seconds. There are two anomalous figures here. The first, the 25K or 54K, is my working linux.kernel archive. *Groups* claims that 25K articles exist, overview has 54K lines -- and that's around the right number. Also, the 90K group, which I wanted to test, isn't in active any more, nor does it's overview exist. It still has (some, possibly not all) it's messages, though. I will probably respool soon and see what's up. I think that I may have had some, er, damage done to active in the past, though, which is a pain. I seem to have lost most of 'nnfolder:archive' as well, which /really/ sucks. Er, though it's active has the right groups listed. How very odd. The second anomaly is my archive of the Gnus list. It's /very/ slow to enter, because it has a whole set of ticked articles in it. Doing this makes things /very/ slow, which is annoying. The oldest article ticked is number '7062', with 36 total marked that way. 24469 is the highest article number in that group; 6760 the oldest mentioned in .overview.
