That did the trick.  Now everything is instantaneous.  

Also, I noticed that Sup's polling mechanism no longer locks up.   With IMAP I
used to have to restart Sup on occasion.  Now that doesn't seem to happen.  I'm
not sure if that's relevant to the that other sup-talk thread on locking but
maybe it's helpful info . 

Thanks,
Joe
