Why kill and restart Gnus several times in the same XEmacs session? The amount of time lost waiting for garbage collection as the size increases easily surpasses the amount of time it takes to restart the program from scratch. It doesn't appear to hurt anything (if you have the memory available) to just leave Gnus always running. Disconnection is automatic, and reconnection is painless. -- steve@miranova.com baur Unsolicited commercial e-mail will be proofread for $250/hour.
