When my computer locks up like that, it is almost always because the network is trying to find something that isn't available, like an alias to a volume that is not on-line.
My first suggestion would be to create a new user account on this computer, set up PM on that new account (be careful that this new account does NOT delete mail from server!), and see the delay goes away. If it does, search through your preferences, or throw out your preferences and start over. Best I can think of....
