In releases previous to v0.27 you would, eventually, see the same thing but with v0.27 and after you're bound to hit the roof right away. What causes this? Reading mail does. When you get new mail ALL mailfolders will be read into emacs for some weirdo reason... My mailfolders are mighty big. They never get killed either so I have to kill them by hand. I think a little 'gnus-nnfolder-kill-folder-after-use' would come in handy for people with less then 1GB RAM memory. I don't notice any big difference in CPU cycles or wasted time if I kill all buffers by hand and let gnus reread them when I need to have them. Please mail the 'bug' patch to me as I can't upgrade to anything after v0.30 yet. I still get the same weird mail lossage in anything after v0.31. I'm sorry I don't have time to fix this myself but I just have to much damn work. :I -- anum meum aperies, asperge me spermate tuo et inquinabor url; http://pfawww.pp.se/~pp/ email; phone#'s; work/home/fax: +46 (0)18 100899/247473/103737
