That happens to me. I think it's a bug. When loading a large number

have to wait until the headers from that group are loaded. Pan will

respond until the headers are all loaded.
In that case, it sounds like there's either a bug in the sorting/loading
routines or an algorythm that doesn't scale properly. As an example, a
simple bubble sort will be fine for twenty or thirty headers, the most
that I see except in unusual circumstances, or if I've been away for
several days, but far too slow for several hundred headers and
completely bogged down for a group with well over a thousand. (N.B.:
when I first installed Pan and had it get all the recent headers for my
favorite group, it brought down almost 4,000, and had them sorted in
under thirty seconds.)
