Hi Arvid,

Your original patch was sent as "application/octet-stream" which made it
awkward to read, (I would have to manually save it rather than just
being able to read it within emacs with notmuch).

But I've since pushed a separate patch to fix this bug. Please give it a
try and let me know what you think.

What operation is taking that long?

I'm still not sure what is slow for you, but I'm also not sure how the
above would help.
