It probably helps if you keep your BBDB file size down. I know that my own 400-odd entries parse pretty quickly, and to be honest I could probably prune it further. Note, there's a periodic argument in favour of replacing BBDB's file format with something like XML, or a database, or $thing. Having recently modified one of my other toys so that all emacs has to do is (read database-buffer), I can vouch for the speed or lack there of that you encounter if you use something other than an emacs sexp as your storage format and then convert it to a sexp internally. There are probably better ways to handle this, but not without massively rewriting parts of BBDB (which some people probably think wouldn't be a bad idea either :)) And finally, since I'm in a chatty mood: I'm sorry about the recent flood of spam on the list, but I'm still retaining the open list policy for the same reasons as previously - any hurdle toward a new user getting help (i.e. you must subscribe before you can ask a question) is a bad thing. I've asked SourceForge about improved spam filtering which they've been promising for a while now, but my request is still in the queue. I may move the list (again) to somewhere that provides proper filtering if the situation doesn't improve. Regards, Waider. -- `F' is group reply.
