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 ... cu Stefan. -- Stefan Waldherr office +1 (412) 268-3837 fax +1 (412) 268-5576 e-Mail swa@cs.cmu.edu www http://www.waldherr.org/
