This is the output from backup scripts executed by Cron. > If the account you got this email on has a web/browser interface it would be > interesting to estimate the resources an actual browser (GChrome or > Chromium) would use to display it, for comparison. Unfortunately this account doesn't have a Web-Interface, but I did a test on another account with Web-Interface. The plain text has a size of 20 MiB. In Comparison: QtWebEngineProcess (KMail) is eating 1.609.232 K. Firefox (Web-Interface) is eating 156.204 K. Firefox can display this e-mail within 2 seconds and I can scroll very smooth through the content by dragging the scrollbar. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
