I'm considering simply blowing that folder away and recreating it, but, I'm taking things slowly this time - messages are set to expire after 30 days in that folder, and I'll probably wait and see if it clears up after being up for 30 days, which should cycle all current messages out of there - that might tell me whether it's a corrupt message base, or whether there's some strange thing going on with the folder. Other folders are mostly pretty snappy and display fairly quickly as I move around them, though not nearly as fast as Thunderbird which I'm running at the same time - it's definitely a lot better than when I first migrated to 47...
