Maybe I'm reaching some kind of maximum limit. I have been keeping
all posts for reference purposes. Perhaps I'll have to sacrifice some.

FWIW (in V2.0) I currently have 1692806 messages in my d-i-y group?

Opening FA is still (on this ancient clutter filled box with no free
disk space) pretty quick, as it is moving between groups or messages
etc.

It's even slightly longer delays that can impact the most (you feel
like you are going backwards, even if there may be *extra* features
you may or may not enjoy).
