I am using Emacs 19.34.1 for mail.
The longer I use it, the slower it becomes. Getting mail from the
mailbox becomes slower. Displaying and/or sorting headers becomes
slower. After a couple of days, it takes 15 sec to get 60 messages
from the mailbox and another 15 sec to display headers. Longer for a
header sort.
If I exit and restart Emacs, performance is restored.
I don't see anything unusual in pstat, swapinfo, top or vmstat.
Any ideas?
