After using emacs with notmuch for a day or two, loading the inbox tree view (a search on tag:inbox) takes a significant amount of time to build the view. When I quite and restart emacs, the view loads instantly again.

Unfortunately no, but I have observed this issue as well. What sometimes
appeared to help is to manually trigger a garbage collection.

I must admit that I have not suffered from this recently though and it
might have disappeared when I added
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq helm-ff-keep-cached-candidates nil)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
to my init.el to work around https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43406

In case you are using helm, you could give that a try.


Cheers,

Dan
