Well, that wasn't exactly what I meant. I was trying to suggest that
gnus mmap the .overview file semi-directly, rather than going through
lots of malloc stuff. The more I think about it, though, the less
sure I am of the efficacy of that plan. At that point, it probably
makes more sense for the overview files to be in gdbm format, or
something.
Hey! Hadn't there been some talk about a nngdbm backend? Didn't
someone do a gdbm interface for emacs, that they were going to give to
RMS?
