[Mailman-Users] remove_members *really* slow

[Ed Wilts]

A few weeks ago, I used add_members to add about 44K users to a mailing
list. I remember it taking only a few minutes at most.  Today I needed
to flush all the list members, and it's taking forever.  On a P III/500,
it's been running for 3 hours, used 2.5 hours of CPU, and the list is
down to 28K members.  Is there a faster way of doing this operation in
2.0.13?  Should I just have deleted the list and recreated it?

Thanks,
        .../Ed
