Your inbox is one big file in MBOX format, so if sophos checks this file instead of checking just the new mail added to it it will take some time.
The size of the file isn't reduced when you delete or move mail, as mails only get marked deleted. The mails marked deleted are removed when you compress the folder. 
Right-Click on your inbox and select 'Compact This Folder'.
You can have it done automatically on a linit set in Edit->Preferences->Mail&Newsgroups->Offline&Disk Space
[x] Compact folders when it will save over [100]KB
