I just find IMAP to be quite slow, especially as compared to having
the files locally available and cached in file system buffer cache.

If you do end up with a spam problem in the future you might consider
filtering your email through a spam classification system like
spamassassin or something similar on the way into your mailbox.
Perhaps fetching into a spooling folder and then filtering into a main
folder. Or something similar. But I think rmail by itself is going
to depend upon an external filter for it to at least add headers, just
like most mail readers these days.
