This has nothing to do with your servers.  The slow script your  
browser is bugging you about is a slow javascript script running on  
the client (i.e. browser) machine.  So it has nothing to do with  
apache, IMAP servers, etc.

If you want to try to debug locally (since apparently I nor any of the  
other devs are seeing this behavior), if using firefox you can install  
firebug (http://www.getfirebug.com/) and see which script is causing  
problems - it sounds like one of the scripts is entering a infinite  
loop but, again, I have no idea why/where this would be happening  
because I do not see it myself.
