Well,  I'm cleaning up my INBOX in Evolution and really feel it.  I'm
running the CPU load applet at the top of my screen.  As I delete each
message in the INBOX I can see load peg to the top.  It is as if the
movement to trash and the preview is what is causing horrific slowness.
Too bad I can not roll back an install.  i may just back everything up
to a 500 GB USB drive and re-install 7.10.
