Are you having procmail deliver directly to the evolution folders?  That will always be slow since the files will change and evolution will have to re-scan them so it can properly identify new messages, etc.

But you're saying you have no mail anyway?  how small is very small?

How long is too long?

What format are the mailboxes?

What does it say its doing when its going slow?
