Does it make any difference if the command you use to start pine also 
contains an explicit "use this config file" parameter?

Is there a way to debug that would show the times pine is taking for 
operations so that you could see whether the slowdown is at the 
"negotiate with the remote IMAP server" stage or in the "set myself up 
locally" stage?  I guess that's a question for the UW folk.
