See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358077 BTW, how's klibido doing lately and how does pan speed and memory usage compare? I was running klibido for awhile before new-pan came around, but haven't used it in awhile as I had other stuff than bunni-news to do, then new-pan got good enough I didn't have to worry about it. Charles has asked me (if it's still significantly better performing, then he knows there should be some more tricks to find to bring pan into shape, if not, then there may or may not be, in addition to the friendly competition thing, of course) as he knows I used to run it, but I had to say I couldn't give him anything on current klibido as I simply hadn't tried it. To your xref question... I'm not sure whether it would affect klibido or not as I'm not sure how it manages downloads, but it's server-side and would affect the many clients that track messages using this convenient sequential method. The thing is, while convenient for single-server or separate server oriented clients, because xref is server specific, it's not so convenient for combined view message tracking. I know rather less about the alternatives tho than I'd like, so can't really do a comparison, and while I believe I have a vague understanding of how overviews and xref works, without even a vague understanding of the alternatives, I can't say how practical they are in terms of tracking, nor how likely it might be that klibido uses xref tracking in comparison to the alternatives. If that makes any sense... The sort form is I don't know enough about it to even venture a half-informed speculation. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
