My experience is that the emacs interface is faster than the vim one.
At least I don't have an examples handy where emacs is slower than the
vim interface at rendering a thread. At a wild guess, I suspect it has
to do with how many attachments there are, and the emacs UI being
overenthusiastic about processing attachements.
