I have found that mutt 1.1.9 is about 4x slower reading a 7.4 MB mail
file with 1451 messages in it than mutt 1.0.

I tried this several times to eliminate the effects of caching. It took mutt
1.0 about 7.8 seconds to bring up the file, it took mutt 1.1.9 about 28.8
seconds to bring up the same file.

I don't know if you would consider this a show stopper but it was enough for
me to back out 1.1.9 and go back to 1.0.
