Hmm, I think the two primary problem areas here are the slow tree widget
(definitely being worked on, see
http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/performance/speed.html ... in 2 months,
expect superb scrolling speed, etc), and the slow focus change (I
haven't heard much about this lately). I may be completely wrong, in
which case I'd appreciate somebody correcting me.
This makes MailNews unusable for me (I can't do my "quickie" browsing),
but I'm looking forward to fixes and good news...
