Kmail is very sluggish.

[Steven Vollom]

I just resolve a major crash problem with my new system.  Everything 
works but is a bit sluggish.  That should not happen.  I have only Kmail 
up right now, and I have 8gb of ECC memory, so things should be snappy.  
When I click the mouse, there is a lag before things happen.  That 
doesn't happen on my old computer with Intrepid as the OS and only 512mb 
of ram.  Anyone have any ideas?  Do you think it relates to the 
resolution of the crash?  TIA
