The machine pop.rahul.net is lightly loaded and should not be the
bottleneck.  However, you should double-check to make sure yuor mailbox
is not getting very big.  The best thing to do is to make sure your POP
client will download all mail and not leave anything on the server.  If
you allow mail to stay on the server it will accumulate and, when the
mailbox gets to be over several megabytes, things will slow down.
