Re: [Pan-users] 0.14.0 Slow on large group

[Lee Reynolds]

Hello,

I don't know anything about the internal handling of headers for a large
group like this, but I've seen the same degradation with groups with
anything over 200,000 headers.  

In thinking about this problem, what about splitting the headers into
chunks of 50,000 to sort them, and then take the sorted headers and
merge them.  This should allow you to thread the individual sorts as
they were read, and merging pre-sorted headers should be fairly linear. 

Thanks!
