Ok, forget about the EXISTS and RECENT response. The server will
response this way if you selected a mailbox, which I did in the Python

Python and there is no difference in the runtime. So, this isn't the
issue.
I solved the issue. The bad performance is caused by the socketopt
socket.TCP_NODELAY set to 0 by default.
Request timing with socket.TCP_NODELAY=0: 0.0501310825348 seconds
Request timing with socket.TCP_NODELAY=1: 0.0027711391449 seconds
This is a huge difference. Setting TCP_NODELAY=1 will bring the runtime
from 3:30 minutes down to 14 seconds! Not Perl speed, but close.
