It may be normal as it has more and more messages to "track" but I am not sure it is that normal give these numbers: - notmuch version: notmuch 0.5-133-gc509598 - notmuch count: 18475 - uname: Linux kcals 2.6.33.4-smp #2 SMP Wed May 12 22:47:36 CDT 2010 i686 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux - Load average: 0.00 0.00 0.00 1/144 28377 - Memory: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 992 881 111 0 253 500 -/+ buffers/cache: 127 865 Swap: 506 0 505 This is on a Slackware GNU/linux system on a Eee PC 901 (thus SSD storage). I am using my computer *exclusively* in the virtual linux console (tty) and 99% of my tasks are done through GNU Emacs (dunno if is of any interest for this problem though). My sync script is taking really long time to achieve, updating one mail at a time is also really slow (several seconds). In the worst cases, updating my collection can take upto 15 minutes and updating just one message can take up to the minute too ! What is happening here ? Is there any maintenance task I should do onto my mail collection ? Thank you for your help. /Xavier
