Subject: zooming & threading versus threading & zooming

For my incoming folders, I like to zoom in on a threaded view of
the recent messages. Does anyone know if it is more efficient to
first zoom and then thread, first thread and then zoom, or if it
makes no difference? Also, does the answer depend on the access
protocol (IMAP vs NNTP vs local access)? And for IMAP, does the
answer depend on whether the IMAP server does server-side
threading?

Thanks for any info about this. I use a dial-up connection and
threading is often very slow. I'll add any tips on speeding it up
to the "Speeding Up Pine" section of my Power Pine page.

It should make no difference. In both cases the entire set of messages
is threaded.
