It is.  Anything works well at 40,000 messages across 100 folders.  Try feeding
Evolution 100,000 messages in *one* folder, then come back and talk to me about

I don't think ours is wu (I'd have to check, but I"m not in a position to change
it, anyway) but this is definitely a client-side issue.  There's something
about seein a 2.4 GHz P4 being pushed to 100% CPU and held there for long periods
