You must have a speed demon of a computer to not see this!  I have
an Athlon 2200, 512 MB memory, with Evo's window at aout 1400x1100
(22" monitor), about 50 folders in the left hand pane and and 1572
messages visible in the top pane.

Scrolling is _unbelievably_ slow when i try to click on either the
horizontal or vertical separator to resize the panes.  Horrifyingly
slow.  Maybe 3 or 4 seconds between refreshes.  I imagine it must be
this way for everybody.

It's been like this for while so, I agree, a point fix probably
won't fix it.

Should I file a bug report?  I haven't filed one yet because this
seems so subjective (nothing's _wrong_) and nobody else seems to
complain...  until now.
