Subject: [Pan-users] Better processing of very large groups?
As it is, pan seems to sequentially scan thru all messages when marking a group
of them as Read.
There needs to be a better and less memory intensive method of handling huge
groups. B-trees, hash tables, SQL-Lite, I don't know, but *something* better
than the status quo.
If your concern is performance, are you selecting all the articles in a group and
pressing 'M' (or choosing Articles->Mark Article as Read)? If so, it seems to be
much faster to just select the group or groups and then typing Shift+Ctrl+M (or
choosing Groups->Mark Selected Groups Read).
But that's only when you want to mark a complete newsgroup as Read.
However, that's not what I need, or want, to do. Sorry for any
ambiguity.
I was referring to articles highlighted thru click-drag (or it's
keyboard counterpart shift-arrow). Similar slowness occurs when
adding articles to the save queue.
