I'm using a Pentium MMX procesor and didn't noticed to high procesor usage
when running mutt. Maildirs with over 2k mesages take some time to load,
but I think it's caused by hard disk. It's Quantum BigFoot 1280A,
87kB Cache, CHS=623/64/63, DMA=Pio 4 so it isn't the fastest.
I'm sure you're going to notice some loss of performance but it
shouldn't be too big. Of course mutt uses memory/cpu to process mail.
For example sorting.
