[MlMt] Suddenly, lag in address-completion?

[Zvi Biener]

My experience is that the first time I enter an address (say, after a 
restart of Mailmate), there is a slight lag after the first letter. 
Then, if I start any other email, or start the completion from scratch, 
there is no delay. I assume that this was just the list being loaded. 
The delay here is minuscule, much less than a second -- not a bother. 
But that is the behavior I see.
