[aclug-L] Re: MUAs (was Virtual POP3 and IMAP server)

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a side note... I was talking to someone else about this same topic
tonight, and decided to run a quick benchmark between Pine and Mutt. 
Nothing fancy...

Hardware:  Pentium 100Mhz, 16mb RAM + 40mb swap.  1gb IDE hard drive.

To open a 9mb mailbox Pine took 21 seconds and afterwards, 'top' output
showed it consuming 10396kb of RAM.

To open the exact same mailbox with mutt took 11 seconds (and I even did
mutt first, so any filesystem bufferng advantage would have been in Pine's
favor), and 'top' output showed it consuming 3688kb of RAM.
