I can tell you that 21.5-b18 is way, way faster than later versions. In a GNUS buffer with about 1000 messages, 21.5-b18 was acceptably fast on my Sun Blade 1500 at work. When I upgraded to 21.5-b22, it takes 2-3 times longer. (I've sent a message about this to the list before, with some profiling results.) Both were compiled with Mule enabled. b18 had error-checking on, but b22 has it off. In my day-to-day usage, this is the only thing I really notice as being slower. Ray
