Hi all,

I'm recently returning to notmuch after a few years of using mu4e. I'm thrilled to be back - the tag based workflow is fantastic!

However, I'm hitting a problem with tree-mode/threading that I can't seem to solve. I am hoping the folks on this list might have some suggestions.

I've got about 52K items with the tag "inbox". Should be "notmuch" right? :-)  Here's the problem - if I want to view that in tree view, it can take multiple minutes for
notmuch to return a result.

More critically, if I choose an item in the inbox that has even two messages in a thread-selecting it and wanting to see it in a tree appears to wind up with all messages
getting re-indexed. I can't see the two messages for a good 2-4 minutes, unless I kill the notmuch process that's running in the background. The process indicates that
notmuch is running through the whole inbox.

I accept that I am not doing a great job describing the bug (if it is one!) - but I am hoping someone on this list can minimally point me in right area to either provide
more debug info or how to optimize my config.

Thanks!
