Any chance you can follow-up with some comparisons, even if they are
rough guesstimates on your part?

Some of  the other fixes include not downloading attachments every time
you click on a message, allowing you to store messages offline 'on
demand' (as you click on them), as opposed to forcing you to download an
entire folder, controls for people with limited bandwidth and/or
storage, etc...

There are some things I really don't like about the UI, and none of my
extensions I need work, so I don't use it yet for anything other than
occasional testing, but I'm really looking forward to the release and
some maturity...

It combined with dovecot will provide a really most excellent imap
experience. :)
