Is it JUST me or  does PINE 3.91 seem to run noticably slower
since 3.89 (our last version)?
I've compile it using pretty much all the defaults, if not all of them.

I'm running it on an RS6000 w/ AIX.

Anyone?

Not just you...  I think it may have something to do with the way
    Pine is displaying the messages now.  There seems to be a longer
    delay.  Dunno.

I stripped my copy to make it about 1/5 the size and it seems to be
running fine.

     strip pine.binary (or whatever)

Thanks for the tip John, but it does not help, at least in my
    case.  As an example try opening the INBOX, going to the log
    list, selecting a log, delete a message in the log, and then go
    back to the INBOX.  The messages that tell you that it is closing
    a log, how many its deleteing, how many its keeping, and opening
    INBOX, et al, take forever to display.  I am just used to the way
    3.89 just slapped the messages up there.  I miss it...  I realize
    that this may be going towards the user-friendly, dork proofness
    philosophy of pine, and it is not a bitch, just an observation.

    As another example, startup two pine sessions, let the second
    grab the read-write lock from the first instance, and quit the
    first one.  Notice how quickly it exits since it does not have to
    tell the user that it is closing the INBOX.  Yes, I realize that
    it also does not have to flush the INBOX changes, but this
    happens even after an eXpunge...

    As a suggestion to the Pine team, how about a:

    i-dont-care-about-the-messages switch, or a
    message-display-interval variable?

    If I really need to find out what message was just on my screen,
    I can goto the $HOME/.pine-debugX files.

    Dont you just love how nit-picky users (of free software...) can
    get?
