I have started entering groups with thousands of messages, and use
extensive filtering in them, usually leaving less than 50 messages. I
have noticed that it possibly works like this:

1) Scoring
2) Threading
3) Expunging
4) Making summary

Wouldn't it be better if 3 and 2 changed place, so you don't have to
thread messages you won't see anyway? I might have this wrong, as the
threading-part might include the expunging as well. Can anyone clarify
this?
