The painful slowness is caused by the spam filtering, in particular the
"Include remote tests" option. Go to:

Tools -> Settings -> Mail Preferences -> Junk

and try disabling "Include remote tests" and see if that helps. If it is
still too slow then try tweaking your spamassassin setup further. If
it's still too slow disable spam filtering altogether and look into
server side solutions. The slowness is caused by spamassassin, not
evolution.
