There's a number of command line debug options that might yield some 
insight - run "geary -h" to get the full list. Failing that, running 
Geary in GDB and interrupting it when it is running slow, then seeing 
what the various threads are up to might suggest something.

It would be good to try to work out if it is caused by some 
server/network interaction or slow database queries (Geary uses a 
per-account SQLite embedded DB for storing messages locally). Depending 
on which version you are running it could also possibly be something 
like this: <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759980>

Also, could you provide some details about your system (distro & 
version, DE/WM and version, if it has a disc or solid state drive) 
might help.
