I did manage to get a couple minutes of truss output the other day but I had to kill it before it finished. It looked very repetitive, with a lot of this:
Well, it has to wade through every mailbox to check out that they are OK. Five minutes for startup can be quite normal if you have lots of mailboxes. That's I/O intensive stuff, so those plenty of CPU cycles that you seem to have available might not help much there. (Yes, I've always wondered myself what's happening back there too, but never bothered to find out. Apparently Cyrus does this in some brute-force way, one mailbox at a time -- in your truss segment, it seems to read in three megabytes' worth of mailboxes.db file over and over again.) --mika ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
