30961 - Mark all read is too slow, no progress indication

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 17470

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect, P3)

Description

[Richard Zach]

Marking all messages read in News using Message | Mark > All Read is way too
slow.  Marking all messages of n.p.m.unix (about 3800) read on Mozilla took 60
seconds, on NS 4.7 it took about 4.  Furthermore, marking all read needs to be
asynchronous, so the app doesn't lock up during the operation like it does now,
and there is no progress indication (in NS 4.7, the status bar indixates "marked
xxx messages read").

Linux build 2000.03.07.09

"Mark All Read" seems to be really slow compared to NS 4.7. 

Last comm linux build tested for Performance was 2000-06-29-08. It took on 
average 38.4 seconds to "mark as read" approx 500 news messages. Std. Dev. = 
0.59. 

NS 4.7 takes about 2.52 seconds on average to do the same.

Isn't this a dup of 17470, which I've assigned to Hyatt?
