That doesn't seem to be it.  I poked around, and in 
ShowTransactionAttachments, I commented out the following two lines:

                eval { $content = Text::Quoted::extract($content); };
                if ($@) { 1; }

After restarting, I can see that the quoted passages in comments are no 
longer colorized, but the speed is the same.  (There are only a dozen 
instances of quoting, anyway).  There are 15 file attachments on this 
ticket, BTW -- not sure if that's unusual.

Is this worth continuing to investigate, or should we just start setting 
aside money for a new server ;-) ?

Thanks,
Kevin Murphy
