Subject: nnmaildir takes progressively longer to exit group
Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 15:45:40 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m36534xx3v.fsf@bfnet.com> (raw)
When I didn't have much mail, nnmaildir was a great solution. Now
that I have tens of thousands of messages, nnmaildir takes as long as
5 MINUTES to exit a group. It is getting unusable and frustrating.
I keep my mail on a USB-2 drive formatted reiserfs. When the USB-2
drive is connected (and only when connected), fetchmail automatically
gets mail and delivers it to multiple maildirs on that drive. My
.gnus file says:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnmaildir "" (directory "~/mail/maildirs")
(create-directory ".")))
(setq gnus-use-cache t
gnus-cacheable-groups ".*"
gnus-uncacheable-groups "\\`nnmaildir[:+]")
I have noticed that when leaving the group "dave-gnus@bfnet.com",
EVERY ONE OF THE 14843 MARK FILES in
~/mail/maildirs/dave-gnus@bfnet.com/.nnmaildir/marks/read/*
gets modified. Is that normal!?!
Is there anything I can do to speed up nnmaildir performance?
I have looked into dovecot, but I wasn't able to figure out how to
teach it about my existing maildir structure.
Thanks,
Dave
