Well, this is what I've started doing more lately. Originally, I just did it automatically thinking I wouldn't be reading news later. It was then that I noticed things got even worse during the second read. At the time, I didn't read any mail inside gnus, so it was unusual to read news twice in one day. Again, I haven't checked this out in a while so it may not happen anymore. However, if it does shrink XEmacs to quit gnus, that alone might be enough of a reason (though I think we've proven it doesn't shrink by much). When I'm actually trying to get some work done, my HP 715/80 with 96 megs of memory swaps constantly while running Mentor (a bloated EE CAD program). I often quit XEmacs all together before starting Mentor. blah blah blah Wes
