I did. I used "C-u M-x rmail RET foo2.mail RET" in "emacs -Q". Does
that reproduce the problem on your system?
Yes.
What about "emacs -nw" -- do you see the same slowdown there? Or is
the problem limited to the GUI sessions?
I am always using it in a terminal. It didn't occur
to me that that made a difference to the scrolling.

How much more faster? Can you estimate the slowdown quantitatively?
I tried it again now in several versions, and it is much faster now
than it was before. I don't understand why the problem happened and
then disappeared, but it has. For now, please forget it.
