Well, if the virtual folder is big, opening the folder can take a while. But the tagging part is instantaneous. I still limit my virtual folders to show only the first X messages. Where X can vary between 300 to a thousand or so. That said, I can always access all messages via search, or by visiting the real folder. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
