I wonder how fast I could type an address that starts with an __a__ on a Mac Pro? :)

I just tested this on my other Mac, which has the same amount of contacts and mails, and I also get a pause with addresses starting with a, and doesn't happen with other letters. Also, for me, it doesn't happen with an address that contains a if it was not the first letter.

If it were a hardware or data size issue, it would happen with all letters.

I guess it might be an issue with the algorithm?

Thank you.

I get less than a second lag with 100,000+ messages and all the addresses involved in those. My A's are about 350 different addresses, for instance. Hardware is late 2012 Mac mini, souped up with SSD and fastest CPU and 16 GB RAM, no disk encryption.

My Mac has an SSD and is fairly well equipped so it might not be a hardware issue

My mac is on a full disk encryption on a 5400rpm hard drive (= very slow), and I get this same behaviour only occasionally. Anyway if the contact list is in RAM the whole time, SDD/HD speed may be irrelevant.

The other obvious variable here may be contact list size; mine is probably relatively small, 537 addresses in there (assuming one address per contact, which is not true but life is too short :-) )

I have no idea what's the variance in address book sizes though. Do those with appreciable lag have substantially more massive address books?

I am having the same issue, with the letter "a" (addresses starting with a). This was discussed previously on the list back in February, but its not clear if it was resolved or not.

I'm running 4229 and I can confirm that I'm noticing lag, and not just on the a. Oddly enough, I can type a name that starts with anything else, but once I get to the letter a, it's stalls a little.

So for instance:

Sergio == Fine
Carlo == Lag once I hit the a
Thank you.

So, I've been using mailmate for ages, works pretty well. Just today, I started having a new experience. I start typing an address in the To bar, and there's a very noticeable pause, maybe two or three seconds, before the autocomplete list shows up.

Do I have too much email or something? Do I need to segregate older messages out, perhaps? Is this a tweakable or tunable thing that I could address by hinting that I have plenty of memory?
