Hi there, Using BBDB with gnus and automatic snarfing of info when reading usenet groups. This has led to my ~/.bbdb file being about 760KB large. It always seems to me that the first invocation of anything dealing with bbdb takes a while, so I tested with:
$ time emacs -q --no-site-file -nw --eval '(load-file "test.el")' real 0m6.525s user 0m5.380s sys 0m0.160s where test.el is: (add-to-list 'load-path "/home/fischman/.elisp/bbdb/lisp/") (require 'bbdb) (bbdb-search-simple "Ami" "usenet") (kill-emacs) (the search is just there to force the bbdb to frobnicate the data -- that's where most of the time is spent). The timing is stable under repeated invocations, and with an unloaded P3-450 w/ a gig of ram, so everything relevant (emacs, lisp code, ~/.bbdb) should be in the disk cache already. Is this a common thing? Do other users of bbdb just accept the initial lag the first time they use BBDB in an emacs session?
