[Spambayes] Outlook addin is slow shutting down

[Piers Haken]

You're right, it's the saving of the pickle. If you run pythonwin's
debug output window then you'll see the diagnostic messages telling you
what's going on.

I wonder, would it be possible to use MSDE (a single-user version of SQL
Server), which ships with office, for the Outlook plugin?

Subject: [Spambayes] Outlook addin is slow shutting down


I've noticed that these days, Outlook is very slow in shutting down,
sometimes taking 2 or 3 minutes after the UI has gone before the process
terminates. This is starting to be a problem for me, as my end of day
routine is to shut down Outlook, then the PC. I now have to wait and
check that Outlook has really gone before I start shutting down the PC
(I don't want my spambayes database corrupted because I shut the PC down
before the pickle was written out).

I assume that the delay is caused by the large pickle getting written to
disk. (Can I check this assumption in any way?) Is that probable, and if
so is anyone looking at addressing the issue? I'm not sure what might be
done - we can't easily switch to DBM files without hitting the issue
that the Windows distribution of Python 2.2 doesn't have a
(non-broken) DBM alternative, and I don't think we'd want the Outlook
client to gain a dependency on bsddb :-(

Any thoughts?

Paul.
