10,000 is not that much, extrapolate your results to 100,000+ messages and you start to have some problems. To be clear, local folders seem to scale to 100K+ messages just fine. It's the vfolder implementation that seems to get into trouble. Anyway, I really need to profile it, and try Not Zed's latest performance fixes, before speculating any more. For all I know the problem is fixed in CVS. Lee _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
