OK we are up to 7500. Can anybody beat that? Don't get me wrong. I'd be happy to have 10,000 entries. It's just the gunzipping time, loading time, and processing time that matter. Oh, and maybe memory. For me on just about any Sparc, anything above 1000 is too much. (Funny about the Explorer

I always do bbdb-changed before saving. My bbdb has 2500+ entries (400K). To make bbdb more useful, I think we need a way to easily trade sets of entries with other people. (Do you have any intelligence to report?) Also, removing the bbdb from emacs and putting it into it's own process. A net in
