What is considered a reasonable size for gnus-undo-actions
(buffer-local variable in *Group*)?
For a session with uptime 6d18h I've got a 237-element
gnus-undo-actions value that takes 12MB to prin1, or almost 50KB per
recorded action. Quitting gnus frees up over 1.3MB of lisp heap
(according to memory-usage.el). Does gnus-undo-actions really need to
be so large?
FWIW, I used this to get the above numbers:
(save-excursion
(set-buffer "*Group*")
(let ((len (length gnus-undo-actions))
(size (length (prin1-to-string gnus-undo-actions)))
(limit gnus-undo-limit))
(message "Length:%d, size:%d, limit:%d"
len size limit)))
Which printed:
Length:237, size:12037804, limit:2000
Cheers,
-a

Isn't changing the default value of gnus-undo-limit enough? Leo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
