It's probably something unrelated to Pine. I regularly use pine to
read a mailbox that contains more than 12,000 messages and tag, limit,
or view some of them. It's not that the load is insignificant, but
even with the following:
last pid: 38479; load averages: 1.99, 1.42, 1.03 up 0+02:59:24 02:08:40
54 processes: 3 running, 51 sleeping
CPU states: 36.2% user, 0.0% nice, 60.3% system, 3.5% interrupt, 0.0% idle
Mem: 52M Active, 347M Inact, 77M Wired, 22M Cache, 60M Buf, 992K Free
Swap: 1000M Total, 26M Used, 974M Free, 2% Inuse
It takes less than 20 seconds wall clock time for pine to open and
sort the huge mailbox.
I'm using pine-4.44 on FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT, btw.
