Locating Folders

Here's what I know...

The folder list/hierarchy is stored in a file named HIERARCH.PM.  That file is updated when Pegasus Mail is shut down.  On startup, the file is verified then read to populate the folder list.  The piece that I don't understand is why the "locating folders" process time can range from almost instantaneous to a number of seconds.  If you don't use trays you might benefit from a rebuild of the HIERARCH.PM file but that isn't an option if you have trays (you lose the tray structure).

Does anyone know why every time I launch Pmail it goes through a very slow "locating folders" routine, Does it on my other machine too.
