Bugzilla

> We've been sqlite for a decade.   But there's no point comparing to Firefox - but usecase and code for Thunderbird is completely different.  Also, 1.3gb global-messages-db is an OK size if you are running on modern hardware, eg. not some slacker 3600rpm laptop disk.

1.3 MEGABYTE, not gigabyte. The archive is of 15+ GB though, although ordered in yearly subfolder structures, and i've been searching for a mail in only last year's subfolder. The word i was searching for is very uncommon. there were like 5 hits in total.


> But your comment about Firefox suggests something on your system interfering with disk IO - like antivirus.

I am running firefox on dozens of systems, like this one here is a i7 4771 with 32GB ram and a samsung 850 pro ssd, at home i have a 7700k with 32GB too and same ssd, and dozens of other computer at the office. all of them are different systems but with good hardware, and firefox history deletion is stupid slow on all of them, no exceptions, it beahves the same on all systems, i always wondered why no one ever reported this bug.

> You cannot make a guess at question 1 based on the word(s) you used?

ok i repeated the search now on TB 60.9: took less than 10 seconds and there are 12 hits out of 3317 messages.
