Evolution has been getting smother and faster with each update.
The SpamAssain used to open (and keep open) a half dozen processes, now
it opens them when you open the e-mail and closes them when you done.

It only tkes about 3 or 4 seconds to let it settle before clicking
send/receive.

Then it is slow on the first mail because you need to go through the
wire and log on to the ISP mail, after that, the mail comes down steady
and quick, considering it passes through 2 AV, and 3 A-SPam programs
before Evolution gets it. And I only have a Pent III 800.

So don't do anything drastic, without defining what slow really means. 
Expectations are so far out in the stars nowadays it's hilarious.
