Right.  The questions was whether that makes the loop in auto-expire
take a long time, too.  But you just explained that there is no such
loop (to determine which articles are expirable) in auto-expire,
therefore it doesn't make any difference whether I mark articles as
read or as dormant or ticked.

Hm.  Maybe I want to try auto-expire for a while after all?  Hmmm...
