I don't know why things got a lot slower on my win 7 HP 64 bit (quad core) laptop.
(maybe some M$ patch I added along the way. ).
Just opening a small email in the new mail folder(~130 messages) started taking 5-10
seconds..
I found a solution, reducing Pegasus down to running on a single core significantly
improved things(and speed).. You can do this from a task manager(Ctl-alt-del), and set
cpu affinity after starting Pmail, but that effect dis-appears when you close down
pegasus.
I found a little utility which permanently modifies a .exe to set cpu affinity..

I.E. set it once, no need to set it again.
A very handy utility, especially with older app's like Pegasus running on newer systems.
Note: I've been running into more and more older app capability issues running on new
multi-core(>2) CPU's..
B.T.W. Has any one found a way to increase the 7pt, new mail message fonts .." To,
Subject, Cc" fields??
