I've used t-bird for mail, with hundreds of messages
(one archive folder has over 5000). On an older machine
I had with 4 gb of ram everything was slow (which would
include scrolling). Now I have machines with 16 and
32 gb of ram so paging is a non issue. If you've only
got 4 gb of ram that would explain a lot.
