I don't have any experience with AV's on aborting filter editing, but the slow export of large amounts of messages I can confirm. This has recently been discussed on TBUDL: mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Where I came with this experiment: TB started with exporting more than 1000 messages a minute, but later on it slowed down: 10 minutes: 11000 msgs 20 minutes: 18000 msgs 39 minutes: 23052 msgs (all) You can see that the first ten minutes were the most productive (11000 msgs), the next ten minutes only gave 7000 msgs, while the final 5000 msgs took 19 minutes. On considering this, I guess that TB checks for every export what's the next free number, therefore it has to check the contents of the target directory and checking all files in a directory with 10000 files takes longer than when you've got a mere 100 files. I think that's the reason that the export slows down. BTW I think it would be very sloppy programming when the number checking would be skipped, after all there could be another program that's writing to the same directory.

I've got two GB and I followed TB's memory usage during my experiment two days ago and IIRC TB never used more than about 80 MB. It kept on using all free CPU power. And yes, just like you I disabled all background processes that weren't absolutely vital. -- Groetjes, Roelof '95 - The percentage of people who will have to upgrade their hardware The Bat! 3.80.03 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 1 pop3 account, server on LAN OTFE enabled P4 3GHz 2 GB RAM
