Hm, the delay is notable on my P200 and P266 I'm using at home. (I didn't benchmark it, though.) Is there a (portable) way in lisp to find out if the machine is slow? Maybe it's enough to mention `uncompface-use-external' in (info "(gnus)Slow Machine"). If we just want to provide support for installations missing the external "uncompface" (this was the initial motivation, if I understood correctly), we could use something like this: (defcustom uncompface-use-external (and (executable-find "uncompface") (executable-find "icontopbm") t) [...]) Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- PGP key available via WWW http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
