It is also possible that the speed that Linux is accessing your hard
drive (although if you have an IMAP mailbox this might not be the case),
is the problem.

Linux sets much more conservative defaults for hard drive settings than
Windows does. It is possible to change these with the program 'hdparm' I
believe, but I never have, so be cautious :)
