You might check on your settings of things like gnus-fetch-old-headers and gnus-build-sparse-threads. Using apropos (I have XEmacs with hyper-apropos) to look at all the gnus.*header and gnus.*thread possibilities is probably a good idea. > In any case it is a matter of pride to make linux run faster, and work > better, than Win95 did on the same machine. Adding memory would be > cheating. :-) My poor old 486dx4/100 laptop has only 20M, and I've nearly given up on X entirely. Without ever using anything so complex as Gnus, it swaps merely by moving the mouse between xterms and XEmacs.
