I ask as I don't know if Evo 3.2.2 has this, but this version still feels really quite slow when displaying HTML messages with images. Comparing how Evo shows an HTML message to how a browser shows an HTML page, it subjectively feels like the difference is something like the following, in pseudocode: Evo single thread: * Render blank page. * Get HTML of message. * Set main window status bar to "Formatting message..." * For each image, in sequence: * Set main window status bar to "Retrieving %URL_of_picture%" * Open single connection to server. * Download image. * Close connection. * End for loop * Clear main window status bar. * Render completed HTML email. Versus: Browser network thread: * Get HTML of message. * Whenever an image is needed, get that, in parallel, using any tricks you like for faster speed, such as pipelining, reusing connections, etc. Browser Display thread: * Render blank page. * While not done: every 100ms, render what you have, even if it's incomplete. * Render completed HTML page. As a result, not only does the browser seem quicker, but I usually always know what it's doing, so I don't experience that "what are you doing?!" feeling. Even if one image on the page doesn't load, I can still work out most of what's there, and keep going. But with Evo you're looking at a blank grey page until it's all finished. > I'll shamelessly throw my favorites into the ring > The more the merrier! I know very little about the those bugs, but they all sound reasonable to me. -- All the best, Nick. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
