[MlMt] sluggist Mailmate - how to optimise?

[Glenn Parker]

I see occasional delays of 10 to 30 seconds when starting a reply 
message. My first guess, given the powerful search features of MailMate, 
is that a large database index is being rebuilt periodically. This may 
be related to personal configuration, since the reply address completion 
feature can be tweaked to draw from a potentially large dataset.
