Although it may be something one can live with, I found that I did very
few searches due to the latency.  In my case, 10s was probably the best
case scenario with the office365 exchanger server I have to use for
work.  I've moved to pop3 for that server and use notmuch (from within
gnus, of course) for local searching and it makes *all* the difference.

Knowing that searching works well and efficiently means I have to worry
less about filing/splitting to find what I need when I need it.
