I don't have any numbers for now, but I tried 1.2 for a couple of days
and it was _a lot_ slower than 1.0.8 against an uw.imapd server: when I
tried to open my sevenseas.org mailbox with ~1500 messages over a
640kbs/adsl line I had to wait several minutes, while with 1.0.8 I wait
10-15 seconds.

I tried to filter the mailbox (I have ~150 filters and the same number
of folders, some local and some on another imap server); the process
started when I left the office in the late evening, the next morning was
always running and evolution unusable. I killed the process and
downgraded to the 1.0.8 version.
