        Hi,
2.22.3 is rather old, I'm not sure whether this one is related for that
version, but one slowness was caused by including also BCC in Sender or
Recipient search type, which is available only within a message, thus
the filtering code was required to open it, instead of reading only
summary information. This had been fixed later, in [1]. I've no idea
about different results, unless the Bcc headers are taken in effect.
        Bye,
