I have no speed problems, but I do get mail duplication when using  
Mail.app's filtering.  I think this only happens around suspend/ 
resume, but I'm not sure.  I think Mail.app isn't doing a good job of  
bookkeeping somewhere (10.4.1, still).

Sometimes, marking a message or thread of messages unread/read takes  
a half second longer than it should.
