===8<==============Original message text=============== Hello TBBETA, I didn't get a reply on TBUDL, so I'll try here. The problem is consisting, and maybe someone over here is willing to create multiple filter conditions to test. This is the message: <Quote> At work, I use TB 3.0.1.33 under Win XP Pro SP2 with 512M RAM. Not sure about the processor speed, but it's a usually pretty fast computer. In the main account, I have 73 Incoming filters. Some have only one condition, others more. The more conditions a filter has, the slower it gets to open the particular filter, and even slower to add more conditions. All conditions are OR and on Header: Contains and Action: Move to folder X. When I open the filter with 45 OR conditions, it already opens very slow. Today I opened the filter with 56 conditions, as I had to add another one. Opening already took many seconds. But adding the new one took several minutes! Here are the details: 1.) Click on the filter (takes several seconds for the filter to display the many conditions, see above). 2.) Click on Add and chose the kind, such as OR, that goes pretty fast. 3.) Click on Sender (in order to choose Header) and this took minutes. Literally. I opened Windows task manager and saw TB's CPU usage in the high nineties while the rest of the computer (including the usually-flapping bat icon) froze. 4.) After a while (2 minutes or so) the CPU usage went down to zero, everything went back to normal, and I could add the email address. The filtering itself works fine. I didn't have this problem with TB 2.12. I also don't notice a slow-down when opening filters with just a few conditions, but from 10 or 20 upwards, it's noticable. With 45 still tolerable, if you really love TB. With 56 conditions, the opening time alone is already intolerable, forget about adding conditions. Reliably reproducible. Can anybody confirm? NB: I know my number of filters and conditions is unusually high, but shouldn't TB v3 be able to handle it as gracefully as v2.12 did? At least you get a clue why I said in the beta phase that filtering is crucial to me, I couldn't handle over 300 messages day without TB's superior filtering system. But adding a new email address to a filter taking minutes just takes the fun out of it. </Unquote> -- TIA, Thomas. ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html ===8<===========End of original message text=========== -- Best regards, Thomas mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
