Subject: growing nnmaildir and intolerable gnus slowness
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 15:34:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3pt58jlvb.fsf@bfnet.com> (raw)
As my nnmaildirs grow in size, gnus gets slower and slower.
Strangely, it isn't when I enter a nnmaildir group from the Groups
page that is slow. It is when I *quit* the nnmaildir group to go back
to the Groups page that things take forever.
I have about 5,000 messages in one maildir and 11,000 in another. My
filesystem is ext3 (RH9). I've included my .gnus file below. I'm
using Oort Gnus v0.18. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave
