Probably just you, since I've not seen any such slowdown.  If anything,
rendering is much faster now with the move to WebKit.

One possibility is your mail summary database has accumulated a lot of
cruft and needs garbage collected.  Unfortunately we don't yet run this
automatically so it has to be done manually.  Eventually I'd like to tie
it into Folder -> Expunge and File -> Empty Trash.

Shutdown Evolution and try running this little script:
