Does the .mailfilter file contain patterns with several '.*' in them? 
You should understand that the time it takes to match a pattern with 
'.*' will have something like an exponential growth rate relative to the 
number of '.*' in your pattern.

If you're searching the body of a message, the impact will obviously be 
much greater.
