I had a similar problem, maybe the same problem, and it was related to
agent. I think, when I looked in the server buffer, that I had an
nnimap server entry with (agent) after it, even though I hadn't been
using agent for some time. I believe that deleting this server entry
is what solved my problem. Now entering and exiting groups and
deleting messages is plenty fast.
