Before, I get into this, I remembered one other question that would be
helpful to know the answer to: When the hang happens, does the mouse
move normally? That is, does it stutter around or move smoothly like
normal?
My observation reg. Mail.app: Mouse moves, but nothing else happens /
is clickable. Only Beachball when over a Mail.app window...
(corresponding observations with iChat, Safari, but I got used to it)
At any rate, 50000+ messages in one folder is probably on the large
side for mail folders.
Hmmm. Dunno. Shall I delete some?!? 8-))
Opening one is going to cause a massive amount of disk IO and possibly
a fair amount of VM paging, especially given the amount of RAM you
have.
Something interesting reg. paging: I put huge precalculated tables into
my stuff as const static arrays in .h files. - When I got dropouts in
one of my plugins, I watched top (after some long, hopeless searches
for bugs 8-) and found out that sometimes these large lookup tables are
not necessarily loaded upon Component open. I got page ins. Hence, if
you have lookup tables, better touch them once upon loading a plug...
(sorry for being a bit off topic)
