OK, the results are posted here:

I enabled profiling for gnus-*, imap-*, and nnimap-*.

When I watched my network throughput, Gnu Emacs' looked like:

   __/\__/\__/\__/\__/\__/\__/\__/\__/\__/\__/\__/\__

and XEmacs' looked like

         /\/\/\/\   
         |       |
     ___/        \_____

(roughly speaking).

Thanks for looking at this.  


P.S. If it's any consolation, GNU Emacs is *WAY* faster than XEmacs at
sending mail to the SMTP server ;-)
