I'm using IMAP, set to download all my mail for "offline" viewing to 
save on IMAP bandwidth.

We're not talking a huge mailbox here.. I delete my mailing list stuff 
every few weeks.. it's the application itself. Any time a scrollbar is 
present in the messages column, it's VERY jaggedy. The other window 
columns scroll fine (such as the compose window I am typing in.)
