Well, let's get methodical about this.  Since several are saying "yes, it's 
slower", yet some are saying "no, it's faster", and (I'm sure) many more are not 
saying anything.... let's try to track it down:

Which auth schemes are you each using?
Which mail storage format?
Is it local or remote store?
What level of updating dirtiness do you have set?

Anything else different you can think of?

Let's help Timo know where to focus.
