IMAP, Gmail, and Apple Mail

Joe Kissell in TidBITS writes Achieving Email Bliss with IMAP, Gmail, and Apple Mail. It's everything you've every wanted to know about using Mail and Gmail over IMAP. Well not quite everything,

I've been running into issues with Time Machine backups taking an excessive amount of time I think because some of my gmail folders (like sent) have 10,000 messages and if I add one sent message to it, Time Machine has to create a new folder, put 9,999 hard links in it and one new file. But I'm not sure about that and for no reason I can explain yet it seems to be better these last couple of days.
