This is a meta bug for i18n mail performance.

I think i18n eng may contribute to following area.
* Message Display Speed
* Thread Pane scrolling
* Thread Pane sorting
* Message Reply Speed

I am going to do some investigation in follwoing area.
* message header
  MIME header decode
  message header parse
* message body
  view charset conversion
  compose&send charset conversion
* collation key generation
* date format

Here are some items I am going to focus (some I have already improved).
* check unnecessary allocation/copy (unicode conversion, collation key)
* check inefficient instanciation of unicode converter
* performance of locale interfaces (collation, date format)

Some idea,
* For collation, we normalize input string for case insensitive but this can be
substituted by OS API's options (e.g. LCMAP_LOWERCASE for LCMapString).
* There is a call MIME_ConvertCharset which is known to be expensive. I think we
can change the callers to substitute it by i18n util functions and remove it.

Not sure it's worth keeping this meta bug open IMO. These bugs from the 1.0 era, are few and mostly in one component - found via the query https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=perf%2C%20&keywords_type=allwords&list_id=9587837&resolution=---&resolution=DUPLICATE&classification=Client%20Software&classification=Components&query_format=advanced&component=Internationalization&product=MailNews%20Core except for Bug 66465
