[Pan-users] Frequent Freezes in Pan 0.14.2 through X11

[Michael]

I'm a new user to Pan. While I love it's quick, no-fault downloads, I'm 
having a problem with frequent (perceived) freezes while performing 
common tasks. For instance, when I mark an entire group read, the whole 
program just kinda stalls. If I have downloads in progress, I know that 
the files are still coming in, as I can see them piling up in the 
downloads directory. But the app just sits there. It's unresponsive, I 
can't change windows, I can't select/deselect any items, headers, menus 
even.

I'm using Pan 0.14.2 through X11 on Mac OS X 10.3.3, 400 MHz G3, 1 GB 
RAM. I have copious amounts of disk space left, in the range of 30-40 
GB.

Can someone help me understand why this happens? I let it go for up to 
a half an hour before I just shut down X11, thus losing all sorts of 
saved information. As I said above, I perceive this to be a freeze 
because the app is unresponsive, but because I'm new to working with 
Pan, and especially through X11, I don't know if it's the UI that's 
unresponsive or the whole app.

I would appreciate any advice at all!

Thanks,
Michael
