Hello and thank you for the hints.

Finally it happened again. Looks like `notmuch new` was running around
midnight, then suspend&resume and few retchmail&procmails.

Anyway, on command line:

$ time notmuch search tag:archive >/tmp/aaa

real	0m4.840s
user	0m1.709s
sys	0m0.301s

and with this muttrc config:

virtual-mailboxes \
   [...]
   'ARCHIVE'                    'notmuch://?query=tag:archive' \
   [...]

when opening that "folder", it took about a minute. Looks like this is
problem with mutt then and I'll focus there.

Thank you,
Jan
