[Evolution] what happening with pop3 retrival?

[Grzesiek Sedek <grzesiek mi2 hr>]

hello everybody,
I've been running evo version 1.3.98 - compiled from sources on debian
ppc sid.
I really liked the way evo was getting pop3 messages from the accounts
where there is a lot of msg (i.e. 3000)
it took just few seconds.
After upgrading to 1.4 situation got back as it always been as far I
remember. (so now the pop box takes about 50 minutes on dialup.
Can anyone tell me why this quick algorithm is not in 1.4?
Thanks a lot.
