This sounds like a slowdown that got introduced in 4.60 due to some 
debugging code changes. The attached patch fixes it. The symptom should be 
that it works fast for a while and then slows down when it starts 
thrashing through lots of debug memory for the journal. Another 
work-around should be to increase the "debug-memory" option in 
Setup/Config (I think it's hidden). That would put off the problem 
for any given pine session but it would be worse once it hit. Thanks.

Apologies, this should've gone out to the list.  My fault for not 
installing Pine on my Mac :>
