Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.22-1
Hello,
I recently upgraded mutt from 1.5.21-6.4 to 1.5.23-1. Before,
switching folders with 'c' took much less than a second (I see
Mailbox unchanged for a split second, then the new mail folder
appeared. After the upgrade it is annoyingly slow, I see sorting
mailbox.. for about 5 seconds during which mutt uses a lot of CPU.
I installed the intermediate 1.5.22-1 version and this is also slow,
so this is the version that introduced the regression.
I'm using Maildir format, have some 10 folders, with 50 mails in
each folder, so it shouldn't really take a noticeable time.
As a reproducer, I attach a folder with a couple of Debian bugs, so
it's all public:
cd /tmp
tar xf testfolder.tar.gz
mutt -f /tmp/testfolder
This will sit there for several seconds sorting through the 18 mails
for my mutt configuration. That doesn't happen without any ~/.muttrc,
so I bisected what's causing this and found that it's the regular
expression matching:
- .muttrc ---
color index default yellow '~b Status: .+ Incomplete'
color index yellow default '~b This bug is a duplicate of
bug'
color index default green '~b Status: .+ Fix Released'
color index red green '~b Status: .+ Invalid'
color index default red '~b Status: .+Fix Released .'
color index default red '~b Status: .+Invalid .'
color index default red '~b Status: .+ Expired'
I use that for coloring (Launchpad) bug mail based on their state
changes, but I don't suppose it's specific to the particular text.
Thanks,
Martin
