Subject: [sup-talk] Slow import of messages
Message-ID: <20090713091516.GA21214@ikn.schottelius.org>

Hello!

I'm looking at sup as a replacement for mutt.
Following the idea of sup, I took a snapshot of
my Mails from 2008-2009 (~56k mails) and run

   sup-sync --all-sources

Now the problem is that sup gets about 3 mails per
second into its index. That means it takes about

	56k/3 ~= 15k; 15000/60 = 250 minutes

That import is already from a local Maildir (synced with
offlineimap).

For me, this is incredibly slow. Using mutt it's way faster,
not even comparing the fact the speed improvement you get
when dividing into folders.

What's your impression? Am I totally wrong or is sup just
the wrong tool for handling a lot of messages?

Sincerly,

Nico
