I would like to use encryption, and I’ve setup gpg tools and as such
it works pretty well. However, it seems that lately performance has
become quite unbearable.
I experience lags from mailmate in the following use-cases, where
I’ve noticed it:
- composing mails (or rather drawing the preview window I guess)
In the test releases I've fixed an issue which should at least make it
work better when the preview is disabled.
- marking multiple mails in folders
I’ve now disabled encryption (and signing) for now, and it’s nice
and fast again. Just for reference I’ve played around with a couple
of other MUA’s with encryption/signing enabled and haven’t noticed
the same problems.
The main problem is that MailMate calls `gpg2` on the main thread. If
there is anything slow (like lookups on a slow key server) then it'll
behave as you describe. The secondary problem is that the preview
triggers MailMate to call `gpg2` more often than it probably should.
So - any advice on how to MailMate to perform better with OpenPGP
tools enabled?
You can use GPG Preferences to switch of automatically checking key
server(s) for missing keys and you can update MailMate to the test
version if you can work without the preview (there is a shortcut to
enable/disable it). But the best solution is of course that I fix the
shortcomings described above :-)
