I experienced the same problem, but this was more pronounced on IMAP accounts 
with many thousands of email messages (more than 100,000).  That said, Kmail2 
has the same problem, only on less powerful machines you also get the lag of 
mysql indexing everything again and again and again.  Accounts with fewer 
messages were quite responsive on both mutt and Kmail2.  Therefore I think 
that this may be an IMAP4 issue?

I never used Offlineimap, but did try tokyocabinet with what felt as a 
marginal only improvement.
