Open a 2.6 mB file, go to somewhere in the middle of it, and type a
character. See how long that takes.
This is a problem with extremely large files. There's nothing BBDB
(or any emacs) can do about it.

My bbdb/news-auto-create-p is a function that is only true when I'm in
an nnml group. I've done this since October '93, and with four
different jobs, and a dozen mailing lists, I have just under 5000
entries (800k), which is manageable.
You may want to think about not adding all the usenet kiddies.
