Summary: Using AppleScript to move a Mail message to another folder takes a long time.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Make sure an email account has a folder called "Archive"
2. Select an email from that account
3. Run this AppleScript (also attached):

tell application "Mail"
	repeat with thisMessageViewer in message viewers
		if window of thisMessageViewer is first window then
			set theSelectedMessages to selection
			if theSelectedMessages is {} then return
			repeat with theMessage in theSelectedMessages
				set theAccount to name of account of mailbox of theMessage
				move theMessage to mailbox "Archive" of account theAccount
			end repeat
			return
		end if
	end repeat
end tell


Expected Results:

- Message is moved to the Archive folder quickly

Actual Results:

- Message is moved to the Archive folder, but can take anywhere from 1-20 seconds to complete

Regression:

- Yes. In Snow Leopard, this was a sub-second operation
