I am using 2.8 and lasts more than 7 sec.  Recently the compose window
has taken to freezing while I am typing in the compose message window.
Coincidentally, my hard disk runs at 100% as if there was a loop.  All
other applications are very slow to respond. I checked my messages log
and nothing helpful was reported.

This freezing is intermittent, so that after re-booting I can't
duplicate it.
It only seems to occur when I am using the compose window.
It has been going on for over 6 weeks at perhaps once a week.
