The important data on that command output is the number of lines, not the time it took to run. You are picking on the time, but that one is not important there.
Same answer. Don't use grep. Use the filtering power of journalctl.
Again, no. I don't care about grep or filtering power, I care about the huge size of the log. I was using grep as a tool to show the huge size of the mail and news log. 300MB of it, in RAM. Please don't fixate on the tool I used, and tell me how to purge mail and news out of the log, reducing the size of the log dramatically. That's what I care about, the huge resource hog it is. Or don't waste your time, because I know it is impossible. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
