Same thing here, Matthew, since a long time ago (version 1.0), although
not as heavy as you describe.

The contacts selection dialog box (the one that appears when I click on
the "To:", "Cc:" or "Bcc:" buttons of a new message) behaves normally,
however, whenever I select a contact and click on any of the three
buttons, it takes up to one minute to add the name of that contact to
the relevant list.

This is really annoying and I wish it could be resolved...
