If that's correct, it's perfect.

Cool! I've done the same on my other systems and that does indeed make
nntp livable again.


After starting it again today, everything is working correctly with your 
new setting. I still get all the new msgs once I click on the actual group.


Thanks.

Yes.

I reckon we'll need to find a relevant bug report and or create a new
one. That's pretty much the only way to get it fixed in 2.0.1 & even
then it may be as simple as making the default
'news.update_unread_on_expand;false'.

It still gets new messages automatically when I click on a group, but 
not when I expand a server? If that's correct, it's perfect.


I did report this during the beta, but no one seemed interested.

This isn't a fix, but may make things a little more bearable until a fix
is provided:

about:config
  news.update_unread_on_expand;false

Of course you'll need to 'get new msgs' to refresh, but at least it
stops SM from going out and refreshing the entire list of newsgroups
when you expand the new server. (This is a real issue for those of use
that may have 20 or 30 newsgroups that we are subscribed to on a single
server (gmane.org for instance).

Yes. See the "Feedback to Seamonkey developers - SM 2.0 high CPU
resource consumption bursts" thread.
