[Bug: 21.5-b28] itimer freezes vm
Giacomo Boffi writes:
when i use vm (the mail agent) xemacs freezes very often, usually

no arm and even unfreezes without manual intervention, if i go, e.g.,
to the coffe machine and back...
I believe that with Mule (at least) some operation that VM does in the
background is O(N^2) in buffer size; on a 1.8GHz AMD64 system I only
see the freezes when INBOX gets above about 60MB, but then things
rapidly get worse.
File I/O, specifically autosaves, can take a long time too if you have
many (> 10) VM folders open.
aside from the bug report, is it possible to put in place an ad
interim workaround?
Sorry, not at the moment, but I plan to work on this a bit in the near
future. You should try reporting on the VM channels (M-x
report-vm-bug is the way to go, I think).
