Generating the summary buffer does. Gnus creates all kinds of odd thread trees (3 cons cels per article), a `gnus-newsgroup-data' list (5 cons cells per article), and all those text properties that make the summary buffer look all pretty an nice (I have no idea how many cons cells). If you enter a group with 10000 unread articles, all those small cons cells do add up. > I'm don't use nnmh, and yet this needs to be loaded with nndraft, > which I like... which presents problems. nndraft is a wrapper around nnmh, so you need both loaded. -- "Yes.
