GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 171482
UI Hangs at startup with slow connection to NNTP server.
Last modified: 2006-07-28 19:01:17 UTC
Version details: 0.14.90 Distribution/Version: Fedora FC3 Find a NNTP sever with a slow connection startup time. Currently, if I do telnet news.verizon.net 119 it takes 9 seconds to get a Connected to news.verizon.net message. ( not sure why... it just takes 8-9 seconds each time) Start up PAN. The UI Freezes for 'X' seconds times '1+Y' connections... so if you have 4 connections, and there is a 9 second NNTP startup delay, the UI freezes for 45 seconds at startup.
I did a CVS Checkout on March 22, 2005 and compiled from the 'current' pan directory structure.
