I did have junk filtering turned on, but for local tests only. Having
turned it off seems to be only marginally faster. Also, I've noticed
that if I only have two messages to download, they download at normal
speed. If I have 150 messages to download it's painfully slow. But it's
not the amount of messages, as I don't see the same problem under the
same circumstances in other mail clients.
