I've seen similar performance problems, and it seems to be combination of JDBC and JavaMail. I tried to use some performance analysis tools to spot what the slow down was, and never got anywhere. I also had weird behavior running inside Avalon/James (compared to running a stand-alone test) where inside Avalon was taking 5 times as long.
Anyway, yes that is unfortunately not surprising, and nobody has been able to crack this performance nut. The file repository is much faster if you do need to support large messages like that.
