The Gnus registry keeps track of all received messages in a series of databases, and allows the user to split follow-up messages into the same group as the parent, as well as associate It currently creates database entries for all messages, which slows down summary buffer creation, as well as Gnus' saving process. This patch introduces a new customization option, `gnus-registry-register-all-p', which, when nil, won't create database entries automatically. The registry will only contain entries that the user (or other packages) has created manually. If the user isn't using automatic splitting, this can provide a significant speedup for general Gnus usage. Discussions on gnus.general lead me to believe that universal splitting isn't used all that often, and that most users are very surprised to find that they have a 50MB registry file on disk. Therefore I've defaulted this option to nil, which is a change from previous behavior. It would be perfectly easy to default to t if this seems inappropriate. Eric
