155800 - Searching "body" of the messages makes the GUI really slow.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 127398

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Miloslaw Smyk]

Mozilla 2002070404/Linux-i686.

When I'm trying to search within large folders of local mail using "body
contains" option, the GUI basically freezes for long periods of time and I
cannot do anything, including stopping the search.

My CPU is Athlon 1GHz and two fast HDs in RAID-0, so I would say h/w is not a
problem here.

yes, see the comment in bug 104243 - we probably need to throttle down the
number of messages we look at per time slice quite a bit in the case of body
search (and not the other cases). We could either examine the search terms to
see if there's a body term, or we could set a threshhold in milliseconds as to
how long we want to spend in the time slice and break out once we've exceeded it
- I'm not sure what the threshhold would be - maybe 100 milliseconds. This
latter solution would be the most general since it would be independent of
processor speed.
