Trimming .gnus.registry.eieio?

Hi all,

I noticed that my .gnus.registry.eieio file had grown to about 27M. I
noticed this because saving it was taking a distinctly noticable
amount of time.

The gnus registry setup page has two examples of
gnus-registry-max-entries, 2,500 and 50,000. I had mine set to 20,000.

I set it back to 2,500, started gnus, saved the file (and saw a message
about saving 2256 entries) and quit gnus.

My .gnus.registry.eieio file is now 21M.

I wonder if, perhaps, something has gone wrong. I suppose I could just
delete the registry file and let it start over, but I wonder if
there’s something less dramatic that I could do to trim it back.

And since I’m asking, of 2,500 and 50,000, which is the more
reasonable max entries size?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
