Bug Description

This is a duplicate of Bug #195222.

VM summary generation is still too slow. It can be made faster by caching mime-decoded strings.

More detail:

The cached summary strings are at the moment in ascii, because they are saved to the folder files on disk. This requires that mime-decoding be done when the strings are inserted in the summary buffer. If the decoded strings are stored, then they would have to be re-encoded when writing to the disk. Either way, something must be done because it is ridiculous for summary generation to take so long.
