Re: [gentoo-user] Evolution 2.2.3 Filtering Time (Too Long!)

["W.Kenworthy" <billk@iinet.net.au>]

The evidence I have for this is a bit "vague" being more of an
impression that processing is faster, but it seems that evo runs one
filter on a message, then the next, and so on.  If you can almalgamate
rules that do similar functions (i.e., copy messages to the same
directory) into one compound rule, they seem to run faster as they are
dealing with fewer, albeit more complex filters.

It would be nice to know exactly how the filtering mechanism works for
this.

To re-iterate, the majority of delays (after implementing stop rules per
filter etc) are outside evo's control, particularly online spam checking
and these are areas its not really possible to do much about if you need
the functionality (and I certainly do!).
