I'm seeing the same delays on some messages, but haven't looked for a common 
denominator.  After reading this, I'll check next time it happens.

Another problem that seems to have been around only recently is that getting 
the first message of the day from my imap server takes about 2 minutes.  After 
that, everything is fine.  During that time kontact is shown by top as the 
highest consumer of cpu, varying between 15-25%.  People on the fedora lists 
are talking about initial delays with some applications when they are using 
X11 1.1.5.  I'm wondering whether there is any connection.
