- Open a folder with just about 13000 mails
- Click on it for the first time in a KMail/Akonadi session or after a 
while you used it last again
- Wait for one minute for Akonadi to deliver the payload of a mail I 
like to reply to to KMail.

This is unbearable.

I do not remember when it ever has been that bad.
