I think that nnml is pretty darn slow wrt speed. Selecting a group with, say,
800 articles takes 11s on my machines. This is XEmacs, not Emacs (it seems to
be a little faster under Emacs). Exmh on the other hand, which I used
previously, takes for the same group far less than 5s. I would really like to
find out if other people have equivalent times ...
