yes I do find this surprising, esp when I try the same thing in Green,
Eudora and Claris Emailer and they all beat Entourage hands down when given
the same amount of memory to perform this task.
A 70k email message takes about 3 secs to open and 2 secs to close in
Entourage. And it opens lightning fast in the previous email clients I've
used like Emailer and Eudora so I've always used this to judge other email
clients. Shuttling between Outlook Express and Entourage makes this
difference in speed even more obvious. Similar speed issues with the Search
function has been discussed as well.
I love Entourage for the slew of features it has. This speed issue rears its
head once in a while and took this opportunity to ask whether other
Entourage users were experiencing the same thing and if so whether it would
be fixed in the upcoming update.
