I just think that the | bottleneck is after this information has been turned into lisp lists | so that Gnus can process it, not in the file format itself, and not in | the reading and the parsing of the .overview file format. Yes, but couldn't the lisp lists be stored? Why build them from scratch each time the group is being visited, when Gnus knows whenever an article enters or leaves the group and could update the list then? - Lars. -- Fly like a rock from the roof to the basement The last thing to go through my mind is the pavement (Falling out of love with life) -- Skyclad: Helium
