>>However, the one thing I am noticing, is that both PowerMail and Mail.app
>>are _extremely_ slow in downloading email now.

This was documented with in a MacFixit report.  Mail apps can be
frustratingly slow.

In yesterday's Wall Street Journal, Walter Mosberg, their technical
editor wrote an excellent review of Tiger.  Of the Mail delays, he said...

In particular, the built-in e-mail program, Apple Mail, was slower. There
was a perceptible lag in opening a new e-mail form, beginning a reply,
and displaying the drop-down contact list that appears when you begin
typing in an e-mail address.

Apple acknowledges it will need to tweak Tiger to eliminate the delays,
and it promises to address the problem within a few months. It might be
wise for users with older, slower Mac models to wait until then to
upgrade to Tiger.

But then, this was also part of his article...

Overall, Tiger is the best and most advanced personal computer operating
system on the market, despite a few drawbacks. It leaves Windows XP in
the dust.

It also adds to the Mac's general superiority over typical Windows
computers as the best choice for average consumers doing the most common
computing tasks. Apple's hardware already was the best in the business,
and Mac OS X has, so far, escaped the virus and spyware problems that
plague Windows.
