SO the question is - if I put more into the archive secion, will that make the bird load faster? and hog the ram less??
yes, probably … i archive my lists by year periodically, and i notice things get slower when have on the order of 10,000 messages in a mailbox (aka folder); i suspect i'm on a faster computer too
Thunderbird's built-in archiver (which i don't use except accidentally) archives automatically by year, so you could just select a bunch of old messages and choose Message > Archive and it should take care of it
here's some info including how to set up the archive mailbox if you haven't already
