In my case, all drafts are saved locally, and for the 1-2 KB plain-text
messages I compose, there shouldn't be any noticeable lag. Certainly not
the 5-10 seconds I'm seeing, which is comparable to the delay I
experience when my 100 MB MS Word file saves autorecovery info every 10
minutes.

I found similar experiences that traced back to news.

I've been having problems for some time, with slow performance, even after I moved my Seamonkey profiles to a brand new machine.

When I did some further poking, I found that performance improved noticeably when I changed the frequency of polling news servers for updates. I have 3 servers that I watch, and I had things set so that all three accounts were checking for updates hourly (and presumably, simultaneously). When I changed the polling schedule so that one news server checks every 120 minutes, one at 130 minutes, and one at 135 minutes, most of the performance problems have gone away.

However, I noticed a similar discussion this morning in the Thunderbird newsgroup, and I realized that the server I use to follow Usenet at aioe.org, most of the newsgroups I follow there have several filters active, to discard stuff I don't want to see -- some of it is spam, some of it is stuff coming from trolls. I haven't done any testing, but I suspect that it may be my filtering rules that may be the true source of the performance issues.
