My freshmeat folder has about that many messages, but it only takes a few
seconds to open (never timed it), and I'm using mbox on ext3, so your setup
*should* be faster according to the hype.

Are you reading from NFS, IMAP, POP, or a 386 or something?  Have you tried
using hdparm to tune your hard drive?  Is mutt being any slower than Evolution
was?
