`s' and `q' takes a long time

`s' and `q' takes a long time

[Steinar Bang]

Both the Group buffer command `s' (which saves .newsrc.eld and
.gnus.registry.eld) and `q' (which saves the same two files and exits
Gnus) takes a long time for me on today's CVS version of Gnus.

Is this expected behaviour?  I upgraded from a January 14 CVS
chekcout, where I didn't see this.  It's like it does a lot of
calculation before saving.

This is also the case for NGnus 0.3, I've haven't tried 'q' yet but
's' takes 2-5 seconds before any messages about adding whitespace in
the registry or saving .newsrc.eld are shown.

I've just updated my quite old cvs gnus and I have to say that this fresh
one is much much faster here - summary generation, displaying articles,
moving articles, saving newsrc.eld, ...

On the other hand, it may be just the effect of starting gnus again after
its few weeks uptime. I have strange feeling that it gets slower and slower
after some time.

Ah, I don't use gnus-registry.

You can explicitly save the registry with 

M-: (gnus-registry-save t)

and see if that's slow.  If so, you can trim it with
gnus-registry-max-entries and gnus-registry-ignored-groups.

I know I should really write docs for the gnus-registry.el package.
I've just been too busy to do it.
