brilliant of you...  So if I set "enter debug on c-g" and then do control-g 
while it's taking forever, I get this:
  u-vm-color-fontify-regexp(69482 79728781 "^ *[-A-Za-z0-9]*> *.*$" ((0 
u-vm-color-citation-1-face)))

my inbox is about 79Mb large; 69482 is the beginning of the text of the first 
message in the inbox, right after its header.    In this case I am applyhing 
"D" to the very last message.  Does this mean that u-vm-color is trying to 
fontify the entire inbox rather than only the message that is being toggled 
with "D"?
