Works for me.  Might be that test version you tried.  Try rm -rf
~/.evolution/mail/imap/<user host>, then re-start evolution.  You may
also have the folders subscribed multiple times, so try tweaking that.

Evolution's imap just sucks?  Tho if its that slow, i dont know, perhaps
its doing more work, mozilla only opens inbox last i saw, not other
folders.  vFolders can affect it.  In short *shrug*.
