Have you tried upgrading to a current release? Usually you don't get
far reporting bugs in the many-years-old versions bundled in enterprise
OS distributions to the upstream source that moved on long ago. I
sort-of remember similar pauses in the 2.x windows version - and having
that fixed may be the reason I switched to always using
Windows/Mac/phone for email, even though I can't see a problem with the
Linux version right now. I thought the pauses had to do with indexing
for searches and switching to the threaded view which did always seem fast.
