Re: RMAIL slows

[Robert J. Chassell]

   If you do xbacktrace while Rmail is doing whatever takes up the
   time, you should get some useful information for us.

OK: over four deletions (50 messages each, plenty of time to suspend
for GDB), the constant is "rmail-reformat-message".  Here is what I
saw:

    (gdb) xbacktrace
    "rmail-clear-headers"
    "rmail-reformat-message"
    "rmail-show-message"

    (gdb) xbacktrace
    "rmail-clear-headers"
    "rmail-reformat-message"
    "rmail-show-message"

    (gdb) xbacktrace
    "rmail-reformat-message"
    "rmail-show-message"
    "rmail-summary-goto-msg"

    (gdb)  xbacktrace
    "rmail-reformat-message"
    "rmail-show-message"
    "rmail-summary-goto-msg"

I am going to have to reboot my system (changing a device), so it will
be a few days before anything slows down again.  When I restart, I'll
use the same emacs/src/emacs executable from 2005 Mar 30, but the
latest CVS .el files.
