Package: mutt Version: 1.5.18-6 Severity: minor
I noticed that my mutt would often "hang" while opening/closing a maildir mailbox with many messages while displaying the progress counters, especially when used via an remote ssh tunnel. Also the rest of the connection would get really unresponsive. A little testing showed that mutt updates the progress counters so fast that the (360kbit/s upstream) DSL line is saturated. I would suggest to increase/set the time_inc and/or read_inc/write_inc settings in the default configuration. The current default settings are: time_inc=0 read_inc=10 write_inc=1 For me a setting of time_inc=250 works fine, but perhaps setting the read/write_inc would be better for a default. Changing this shortened the time to open/close a mailbox from 5-10 seconds to <1 second when using mutt via remote SSH session. -- Package-specific info: Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17) Copyright (C) 1996-2008 Michael R.
