Same symptom, just a bit less so, and this is with OS X on a flat-panel iMac.
Suggestion: Put the rule-script in question near the end of your rules, so that messages that are clearly NOT mailing list messages get processed first, and only what falls through hits your rule. If it fires less often, and sporadically, you may be able to get in some keystrokes. Other thing I found helpful was to pick up mail real often, like every 10 minutes, so that there are never large numbers of messages to download.

I still say the ability to reprogram keyboard shortcuts (like Word, although a better interface would be nice) would be one of the best enhancements to Entourage. -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
