From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)
BuildID: 20001103
when trying to subscribe to newsgroups, mozilla seems to download all the
header information every time i open the subscribe window -- solution: mozilla
should store the information and then only check for new groups if requested
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. select "subscribe to newsgroups" in the news/ mail part
2. see for yourself
3.
Actual Results: this shows a problem with storing the header information- the
performance is much too slow compared with other newsreaders
Expected Results: it should be fixed (maybe mozilla should save all the header
information locally and then search this local file and only check for new
newsgroups if requested by the user)

I agree. Mozilla is too slow in initially loading the newsgroup
list and when the subcribe menu is engaged thereafter.
I am sure, though, that this is a known problem and there must
be a prior bug for which this is a duplicate.
Also this is not a localization or internationalization bug.

it's actually pretty fast now.
btw: there's another bug for the support of "new" newsgroup. Can remember the
bug number.

This seems to be okay for me, although we have a bug out on larger servers'
subscribe window taking a long time to appear. Matthias, is this much better
than when you filed it?
We don't download headers in the subscribe window, we're just building the list
of newsgroups from the server. This seems much better to me, too (than when I
first started in November of 2000). We also have bug 73501 outstanding, which
you might want to take a look at. Bug 40260 covers New newsgroups appearing in
the Subscribe window.
Verified.
