[Users] Random delays...

[Pierre Fortin]

Hi,
I've been trying to figure out why I'm seeing random delays when:
- switching to another folder
- opening mail
- moving mail
- etc

Not sure if this is related to the delays; but today, I attached strace
and one thing that stood out was a series of "stat" calls for empty
file names every second for extended periods:

18:20:03 rename("/home/pfortin/.claws-mail/folderlist.xml.tmp", "/home/pfortin/.claws-mail/folderlist.xml") = 0
18:20:04 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:20:05 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:20:06 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
...
18:24:06 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:24:07 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:24:08 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:24:09 unlink("/home/pfortin/.claws-mail/mimetmp/claws.OE62RY") = 0

And again for 50 seconds:
18:31:23 stat("/home/pfortin/Mail/draft/4944", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=1287, ...}) = 0
18:31:23 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:31:24 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:31:25 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
...
18:32:10 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:32:11 stat("/home/pfortin/.local/share/sounds", 0x7ffc929dadb0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:32:11 stat("/usr/share/sounds", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
18:32:11 stat("/usr/share/sounds", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
18:32:11 stat("/usr/local/share/sounds", 0x7ffc929dadb0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:32:11 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:32:12 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:32:13 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:32:14 stat("", 0x7ffc929db2d0)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
18:32:15 stat("/home/pfortin/.config/enchant/en_US.exc", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=0, ...}) = 0

When I hit Send on this message, I get an attachment warning, and these
empty stats go to several (2-4) per second...

Any idea what CM may be doing here..?

Thanks,
Pierre
