Guess I haven't stated my case so well <g>:

- 50,000 messages most imported from Unix format
  very few with a MID header;

- no compression or deletions ever (I want access to the enire base
  for reference purposes);

- performing file maintenance on the base is fine. No problems.

And I notice the same thing in other imported message bases with
smaller (5k to 10k) messages. This delay is really not that big a deal
in practice, just a bit annoying. I've never had this quantity of
items inside TB before so I don't know how its database behaves. It
didn't even hiccup when importing all the messages. Seems very stable.
