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.
I played with klibido a little bit this week. I like it and found much worth stealing. =) I particularly liked the 'parts' column in the header window, that the task window showed completed tasks, and how you could see information about each part of a multipart. klibido has a speed/memory advantage over Pan 0.115, though the advantage is much, much smaller than it was a week ago. =) From what I can tell it's because klibido keeps most of its data stored in a berkeley database file, which has tradeoffs. We've kicked that Idea around for Pan before, and maybe that's something for the future (though I've had such horrible luck with Berkeley's stability that I'd rather use sqlite...) On the other hand klibido is a grabber, so it doesn't have anything you'd want for text newsgroups -- threading, charsets, quoting, scorefiles, GNKSA, etc. That's not a bad thing, but a difference in focus from Pan, which tries to be very good in both worlds. Also, I like their complete/incomplete multipart icons. ;) cheers, Charles _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
