92732 - moving local messages between folders is very slow.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 94602

(MailNews Core :: Database, defect)

Description

[Brian Teague]

x86/Linux, self-compiled (28 Jul 2001) w/ gcc-3.0.  (I've seen this with maybe a
month's worth of nightlies, though.)

Moving messages between local folders (including to the trash can) is very slow.
 I multiple-select a swath of messages, then drag them to another folder.  I
would approximate between 2 and 4 messages are moved per second, making deleting
large numbers of mailing list messages (eg, Bugzilla and Bugtraq mail) a painful
proposition.  It doesn't seem to matter how many messages I select: 40 are moved
at the same rate as 800.

My setup:  IMAP account over an aDSL line (so faster than dial-up, but not a
LAN) with many filters set up to move incomming list mail to local folders.
