[Mailman-Developers] Mailman 2.1.5 'listinfo' command slow ...

[Christiaan den Besten]

Hi all !

Could someone please tell me why the "config.pck"'s of every list is completely read, copy'ed to config.pck.last etc on a 
'/usr/bin/python -S /usr/lib/mailman/scripts/driver listinfo' call.

We have some lists with a lot of recipients which results in a combined size of all config.pck's upto 40Mb. Having to write this 
much data on a 'simple' (?) listinfo call makes the call very slow (5s or something like that ...).

Why does it update the configs? Should it not only read info (list names/descriptions). Perhaps it would be a nice idea to split the 
config and the recipients in separate files to prevent this ?

Or has all this been fixed in upstream versions already?

Any hint/tips would be very appreciated!

bye,
Chris
