Hello!

Using Thunderbird is terribly slow over ssh from inside my company's network to
my Mac at home. Other GUI apps, including Evolution, are much much faster. This
is constant and even when I have measurably high throughput to the company
network. It manifest as a slow open; when I click my first mail, it takes ~1-2
minutes for the text of the mail to be shown, then another 30s or so for the
header box to show up. Any scrolling activity is agonizing.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

2. start Thunderbird
3. wait a very long time



Expected Results:  
Go faster. =]

was asked by someone if this is still a problem. I can say I've not had this problem since I left that employer in June 2006. ;p

I have no easy way to recheck this.
