Subject: nnimap expiry seems very slow
Date: Fri, 06 Jun 2003 00:39:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8ysfes50.fsf@asfast.com> (raw)
It seems that nnimap expiry is very slow for me. During expiry, I
specify that the articles get moved to a "INBOX.<group>.saved" folder,
where <group> is the name of the nnimap group.
I have specified that this nnimap expiry takes place after a fixed
number of days. The first time I leave an nnimap group after midnight,
this expiry takes place. At this time, I get a series of messages like
this:
nnimap: Marking article XXXX for deletion...
where XXXX is the message number. It sometimes takes 5 seconds or
more per message number.
If I perform the same function interactively under mutt, these articles
get moved very quickly. The way I do it in mutt is to mark a group of
articles, copy the marked articles to the .saved folder, delete the
marked articles, and then expunge all deleted articles.
I presume that gnus tries to do more or less the same thing, but like I
said, it takes ten times longer or more to perform this function under
gnus.
Before I dive in and do some serious debugging, can anyone think of some
sort of standard gnus setting that might be affecting the speed of this
expiry process?
Thanks in advance.
