Subject: slow splitting
Date: 09 Jan 1997 16:08:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <w0oheymops.fsf@rupert.oscs.montana.edu> (raw)
I'm running Red on a NetBSD/mac68k box. It's running at 16MHz.
Consequently, things get a bit slow... Anyway, I've noticed that my
blood pressure stays much lower if I know what the program is doing
that is making it take so long. Consequently, I put some lambda's on
nnmail-pre-get-new-mail-hook and nnmail-prepare-incoming-header-hook
that give me messages saying, "Sorting message %d..." whenever I grab
new mail. This makes me happy.
Should I turn these hook expressions into full-fledged patches, and
send them in? The reason I'm asking is this: If you're running on a
really fast box (and you have simple splitting rules, which I don't),
those messages could just whiz by you, potentially causing some worry
because the thing's printing messages that you don't get an
opportunity to read.
I hope y'all will forgive me if I'm being too pedantic.
Chris
