    Adrian> Hi Ray!

Hello!

I think I should qualify the slowness a bit.  It seems that gnus is
slow.  I have some folders in gnus with about 1000 unread entries.  It
seems b20 takes a lot longer and gc's quite a bit when getting the
summary buffer.

Otherwise, I haven't noticed slowness anywhere else, but I don't think
my normal usage requires lots of heavy stuff to run, except gnus.

I never turn off any debugging stuff on the betas.  I'll send the
numbers and stuff later.

Because I never remember how to configure xemacs, I basically copy the
config (in config.status) from previous versions.  However, I did
change from gcc 3.1 to gcc 3.4.3 in this build.  

Would it matter if I changed back to 3.1?  Would you be interested in
the results?

Thanks,

Ray
