Package: emacs23-common Version: 23.4+1-3 Severity: normal Hi.
I've noticed that since a few weeks ago, Gnus has suddenly become very slow at loading new incoming mail. I've tried and figure out what it is busy doing while the CPU is at 100% and emacs uses it all. stracing it reports (long) series of : mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118833152, 118837248, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118837248, 118841344, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118841344, 118845440, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118845440, 118849536, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118849536, 118853632, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118853632, 118857728, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118857728, 118861824, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118861824, 118865920, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118865920, 118870016, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118870016, 118874112, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118874112, 118878208, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118878208, 118882304, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118882304, 118886400, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118886400, 118890496, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118890496, 118894592, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118894592, 118898688, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118898688, 118902784, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118902784, 118906880, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118906880, 118910976, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118910976, 118915072, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118915072, 118919168, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118919168, 118923264, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118923264, 118927360, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118927360, 118931456, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118931456, 118935552, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118935552, 118939648, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118939648, 118943744, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118943744, 118947840, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118947840, 118951936, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118951936, 118956032, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118956032, 118960128, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118960128, 118964224, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118964224, 118968320, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118968320, 118972416, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118972416, 118976512, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118976512, 118980608, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118980608, 118984704, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118984704, 118988800, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118988800, 118992896, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118992896, 118996992, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 118996992, 119001088, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 119001088, 119005184, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 119005184, 119009280, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 mremap(0xa0c5b000, 119009280, 119013376, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xa0c5b000 I guess something may have changed recently in the way emacs manages its internal memory, which may be the culprit. Eventually, the Gnus finishes fetching the mail, and works OK... it's just taking minutes where it used seconds to basically load the same amounts of incoming mail in average, than it used to be :-/ Unfortunately the symptoms make it difficult to spot other reports or investigations around the same issue :-/ Thanks in advance for any help.
