I've seen times of 22 minutes and longer, for only a hundred messages or
so.

It's in my signature: v3.0.1.33.

No antiviral software.

I have about 80 filters for incoming mail. Most of them look for
specific content in sender or recipient fields ("contains" or "match")
and file messages in appropriate folders.

Hardly any temp files in the temp directory.
A further mystery is that TB is not doing any processing or I/O while it
sits there. It seems to be _waiting_ for something.
As an experiment, I went into the Transport area of the properties on
the account, and changed the time out delay from 60 seconds to 1 second
(the mail server is on my own LAN, so a 1-second timeout is still plenty
of time). It seems to be helping.
What could TB be waiting for? The e-mail server uses qpopper to service
the requests; qpopper is among the most popular POP e-mail servers
around, so I don't think it's that.
