I never experienced that. Overall xterm might behave crisper,
because Terminal.app is slow -- but not only for mutt.
I do however notice slowness right after starting mutt (cold
cache???), but then it runs fine.

I always used and use qdbm w/o prob. Both qdbm and mutt build
just fine on 10.4.11. Also fink's mutt ships with qdbm. If with
"gdb" you mean GNU dbm I once built mutt against gdbm from fink,
again w/o without having the issues you describe.
