Is that the first time only, or every time?  The first time it generates
a full index and writes out a new copy with headers intact, so that
most other operations following are much faster.  The second
time startup should be much much faster.

But the code i'm working on right now will allow me to delay indexing
till later (read: from a thread), and delay the writing of updated
headers until an expunge, which will probably speed it up 2x or so,
that first time; it wont affect later starts.

The gui currently also has some performance issues, which are even
worse ... (I think we need to give the main gui coder a P100
instead of an athlon 700 :)

I'll also add there needs to be a way to navigate at least the message
list with the keyboard ...

Well most of the developers have >1280x1024 screens, and so forth -
this all still needs tuning.

I'm not sure on this, anyone else?
