I stopped using my folder organisation and deletion script because I need my CPU cycles - for stuff like Skype, playing full screen video and 24bit/96Khz music and other - and with folder action scripting System Events regurlarly took 20% CPU and sometime up to 80%. After much research I found a note in an online discussion that folder actions causes this. I turned it off and this problem never resurfaced. It's possible that the amount of files influences the resources need for System events. When I did fs_usage on it, it spurted out thousands of file calls, so no wonder it needed that much CPU. If one adapts the script you referred to, to be initiated with a general filter from within PowerMail, one doesn't need to have folder actions active.
