I'm in the same boat.  Starting up, it takes over a minute before it
begins to show new messages.  My workaround is to run sup in screen.

There's a lot of variance in how long it takes to show a message once
I press enter on it.  Sometimes it's upwards of thirty seconds, other
times instant.

I always assumed this is because my mail server is on a remote host
and highly utilized.

Saving messages happens at the rate of about two messages per second.

Quitting happens quickly.

I have almost 60k messages in my index.

Thanks.
