[Pan-users] saving new headers progress bar?

[Vadim Berezniker]

So, about 3 hours ago I went to fetch new headers from a group, and pan 
started downloading around 1.4 million headers. I'm on a rather fast 
connection and that part was done in under a minute. That was 3 hours 
ago and Pan is still saving the headers to the hard-drive and I'm not 
really sure when it's going to be done.

It would be nice if the progress bar was filled as the articles are 
saved for cases like this.


(The major slowness is due to the massive amount of swapping that is 
happening ... I wonder if it would be better if pan freed the data as 
soon as it was written to disk [i'm assuming the data is not needed 
again in the process] because as it is now pan's memory usage is not 
going down)

[Note, I'm not complaining about Pan. I know it's a real pain to deal 
with so much data.]
