Hm. I run it on my laptop all the time (which I have throttled to 600MHz so it doesn't make so much noise) and have found it very snappy. Particularly when switching between mailboxes -- I found mutt's constant re-indexing of mailboxes a real pain in that situation. It does use a fair bit of RAM though; perhaps you're just seeing delays from swapping.
