+ +**(77) Why are messages sometimes shown with a small delay?** + +Depending on the speed of your device (processor speed and maybe even more memory speed) messages might be displayed with a small delay. +FairEmail is designed to dynamically handle a large number of messages without running out of memory. +This means that messages needs to be read from a database and that this database needs to be watched for changes, both of which might cause small delays. + +Some convenience features, like grouping messages to display conversation threads and determining the previous/next message, take a little extra time. +Note that there is no *the* next message because in the meantime a new message might have been arrived. + +When comparing the speed of FairEmail with similar apps this should be part of the comparison. +It is easy to write a similar, faster app which just displays a lineair list of messages while possible using too much memory, +but it is not so easy to properly manage resource usage and to offer more advanced features like conversation threading. + +FairEmail is based on the state-of-the-art [Android architecture components](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/), +so there is little room for performance improvements. + +
