Subject: Slow sorting of folders

Hi folks!

I am using Pine 3.91 for Windows with IMAP (all folders are on server). 
What I have noted, is very slow sorting of folders. For example, folder 
with 60 messages gets sorted by Date: substantially more then one minute.

It could be _very_ annoying, if you were a couple of day off and are on 
some popular mailing list.

Is it general problem, or just my local configuration? Is it slated to 
change in 3.92?

Thanks for info

    It appears to be a philosophy of no local buffering of the index list. 
When I sort a list I notice that the items are reread from my ISP's news
server.  This happens over a 28.8KB line and slows down the sort.  I 
imagine an option to buffer the index locally would solve the problem.
