I created this bug for Seamonkey 2.20: Program is starting much, much slower. First about 3 seconds of 100% CPU, then it falls back in CPU use but does not progress. Disk does not rattle (no swapping). When starting with -mail, after some time the accounts and folders list appears but the message list area remains grey for about 10 more seconds. Then program springs alive and works at normal performance.
Tracing reveals no suspicious network activity. Server (IMAP) is connected OK. Testing with a different account and removing all .msf files hints in the direction that the startup time is proportional to the number of .msf files. An account with only standard folders starts much quicker than my own account, and after the removal of .msf files mine started quicker as well. However after the program is shut down and restarted (now with empty .msf files as I have not yet visited all those folders) it is just as slow as before. (Bug 903451 in BugZilla) It is confirmed by Ian Neal, but not much more info. It could be that it only affects IMAP users and it also looks like it affects mainly users with many folders and/or multiple accounts. For me, it is a blocking problem in the rollout of this version. But maybe there is a local cause that could be worked around... I wonder if anyone here has noticed it. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
