Re: archiving speed [was Re: Tips on maintaining history in Org Mode]

[Samuel Wales]

i should clarify.  bulk archiving slows down even with /nonexistent/
(have not tried empty) archives.  as part of normal and expected
operation, bulk creates the archive for the first entry, and then
subsequent entries are added.  those get slower and slower.

i was trying to imply e.g. doing archives by year won't fix it.  only
a few entries are enough to slow it down.

i use (olpath category itags).  i will try (file time) when i can, if
that still applies.  my brain needs to be more operational.

i should mention that i did also find a bug, but was not able to
narrow it down.  it has been a while, but it was something like not
killing the original entry for one of the entries.  i was unable to
figure out what conditions needed to obtain for this to occur.
