Evolution weirdness

All -

Using FC3 RC5 (installed from the iso images at
http://testing.fedora.redhat.com/tree/i386/iso/).  My machine is a dual
Xeon 1GHz with a gig of memory and Ultra160 disks - relatively snappy
machine.  My mail server is on my local network here at home.  I am
running evolution-2.0.2-3.  I get my mail via IMAP.

I notice that often when I open a message Evolution takes several
seconds (sometimes as many as 10-15) to display it.  I also notice that
the mail server hard drive light stays lit during this delay.  It seems
like somehow Evolution is re-indexing the folder or something for every
message opened.  The more messages in the IMAP folder, the longer the
delay.

I don't recall this behavior in older versions of Evolution (1.4 or 2).

Any ideas how to make this stop?
