Mail.app can spike the CPU when running indexes.  Over time, these can 
become complex or corrupted and indexing will take an inordinately long 
time.

I just got Mail back to its normal spiffy self by reducing the size of 
some mailboxes (by breaking them up into smaller folders), deleting a 
lot of older mailboxes, and rebuilding the rest.

Best,
Jeff
