after some investigation and time spent archiving, it seems that
thunderbird with some 40000+ messages in this lazarus folder plus
having firefox open were causing my system to consume too much memory
and thus using swap... especially when i would open lazarus to do
some coding or checking things out from posts in here... after
archiving, it seems to have cut down on the amount of memory used so
we'll see what happens now...
OT, I have found that TB archives are unreliable with large volumes.
Not that mails disappear (at least not that I know), but quick search
tends to not find all the mails it should.

Compact Folders option seems to also help a lot.
Something to avoid is having lots of messages in the same folder with
the same subject line. We use INN here to archive stuff we send to our
customers, and we were able to improve local client (Netscape/Mozilla
and derivatives) performance a lot by appending a unique ID to each
subject line. Having subject lines that only start the same (e.g. Re:
[Lazarus]...) is mostly harmless.
