I was tracking down some performance issues in the display of long threads, and I eventually realized the problem was actually in the notmuch CLI. I'm not sure if this is fixable, but basically the calls to gpg are very slow when running "notmuch show --verify". On a 114 message thread (with 39 signed messages) from the Debian BTS, --verify makes the elapsed time go from .03s to 1.54s. Perf shows most of the "hot" symbols are in gpg or in the kernel called from gpg.
I guess a lazy inserting approach in notmuch-emacs might help this as well, since we don't need to verify the signatures of messages we don't read. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-le...@notmuchmail.org
