It's certainly not something I have seen reported before - I admit I don't compose emails with massive amounts of text, but I have never noticed any laggy-ness with the composer - I've just tried a reply to a 550k mail and there was no issues. How big are the emails? (Easiest way to see is to add a 'Size' column to the message list window.) If you reply using a different style - as a test - such as using an attachment or inline style - is it still a problem. (Use Ctrl-Atl-R to get a menu that allows the selection.) Can you see how the system is responding in general - why is evolution having problems? Is there something else on the system taking CPU time? Memory? Is evolution using a lot of memory? Is the system swapping lots? What are the specs of the system? What GUI system are you using?
