Quoting gimili <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Why would dimp be *significantly* slower to generate message list than imp on a large mailbox?
DIMP isn't slower per se - both DIMP and IMP use the exact same functions to generate the message lists. However, DIMP processes a larger chunk of messages at a time than IMP does. In a typical mailbox, IMP displays by default 20 messages per page while DIMP downloads, by default, 7 times the size of the current viewport (if the current viewport is 20 messages, DIMP downloads the message information for 140 messages). The tradeoff is slightly slower initial display in DIMP for subsequent instantaneous scrolling through the mailbox (at least the portion that is loaded) while in IMP, you would have to wait for each subsequent page to load which takes much longer and also hammers the server (a single request for message info 140 messages is more than 700% more efficient than 7 requests for 20 messages each).
I also find if I delete a message it just puts a line through it whereas this works perfectly in imp.
This sounds like the bug that was discovered immediately after 1.0 was released and has already been fixed for 1.0.1.
