Yes. I got the terminology from gnus itself.... when I open a large group After showing a message about generating the summary buffer, it shows a message of `Hiding all threads' and then a count usually only displays the thousands. > Anyway, I doubt this is the source of the slowdown -- asking Gnus to > display 50,000 messages in a summary buffer is going to be slow no > matter what. Turning off threading altogether should help some, but > that's all I can say. I do realize that groups of that size are really really slow. I have some experience in that area. However unless the `hiding all threads' message is misleading and doesn't really have anything to do with what is happening, I can see the wait growing longer by watching `hiding all threads'; 1000 ... ...2000 ....3000 the waits between are relatively short but after about 4000 the waits between ouput grow exponentially. Getting up to 7/8 thousand the wait between 7 and 8000 is quite lengthy. I haven't timed it or I'd post the times. That's what gave me the idea of cutting out the thread hiding.... Also, must of what I do in there means I have to SHOW threads anyway `T S' so I have to undo the Hiding anyway. Writing that made me think it might be a setting of my own doing. Can one set how threads are displayed when a group is opened? _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
