Yes.

The only way to get the flags data (without QRESYNC) is to say "UID
FETCH FLAGS 1:*". If you have 200K messages in that group, it'll take a
while.
When all IMAP servers get QRESYNC support this will be a moot issue, but
at present you have to trade off accuracy for speed in this area. I
think other MUAs do opportunistic FLAGS sync in the background.
