OK, I dealt with all that, and my IMAP interactions indeed seem to be
much faster.  Now I'm seeing two weird effects in XEmacs/GNUs:

1. Every time I read a message, it gets an extra newline after it in
   my summary buffer!  Interestingly, the _other_ (unread) lines all seem
   to end in ^M according to what I'm seeing below, having copied/pasted
   from my summary buffer.

2. For some reason, delete-selection-mode (a.k.a. pending-delete-mode)
   does not always seem to take effect in message composition
   buffers.  It's very strange, because it seems to work unless I use
   <CR> to delete selected text.  Maybe this one is just an XEmacs
   quirk and nothing more...
