I accidentally have an update on this.
Firstly, OMM switching off 'Recipient headers' in 'Auto-completion
Sources' did seem to speed Mailmate up, but it didn't speed *me* up
because I discovered how much I rely on it;)
Switching in back on left me with some delays (but as I said, I think,
I've improved my hardware and it's improved the delays). However at some
point Mailmate just got locked this afternoon and after an hour I had to
not only force-quit it but eventually force shut-down the whole mac,
which wouldn't restart.
On relaunch, MM got very unhappy about the mailboxes and insisted on
redownloading the entire lot.
Now, the sporadic delays are much less (three seconds, roughly).
All this suggests to me there are three related factors:
1. Heavy disk access needs good architecture
*and*
2. The archives perhaps become messy to access (and we can't run
Diskwarrior on AFPS drives)
and 3. MM has to do a lot of work to look up recipients in a giant
'sent' folder.
Obviously these impact each other; if 3 is irrelevant (switched off),
you don't need such a fast machine or fully-optimised directories, and
so on.
I'd be interested to hear from other well SSDed/RAMmed users whether
this fits their situation.
cheers

It's pure speculation on my part. All I can really affirm is that the
delay happens sporadically, lasts several seconds, doesn't seem to be
associated with attachments in replies, and is isolated to MailMate.
I'm running the latest OS X with buckets of RAM and all solid state
disks, and this was happening prior to the most recent OS upgrade.

I see occasional delays of 10 to 30 seconds when starting a reply
message. My first guess, given the powerful search features of
MailMate, is that a large database index is being rebuilt
periodically. This may be related to personal configuration, since
the
reply address completion feature can be tweaked to draw from a
potentially large dataset.
I'd actually doubt that. Creating the DB initially will take a while
but
updates should be pretty fast. I do see some delays when sending
mails
with attachments but reckon these are down to assembling everything.
But
basically without Benny's input and/or logging it's all idle
speculation. If you can recreate things then maybe filing a bug is
the
best approach.
However, one thing I have noticed since 10.4.6 is occasional complete
freezes of the mouse. Apple does, unfortunately, have a record of
introducing random bugs in OS releases, especially as they prep for
next
major ones.
