Thanks Eduardo. I just updated my Power Pine page so it includes 
this in the "Speed Tips" section:

--- begin tip ---
11. Yet another hidden feature is save-aggregates-copy-sequence. 
Setting this, which is the default, "may save network traffic 
when the source and destination folders are on the same IMAP 
server." I prefer to unset this so that the order of messages is 
preserved when I do an aggregate save. Note that, as discussed 
here and here, this feature has no effect if keywords are present 
in the messages that are being copied.
--- end tip ---

This and the other speed tips are here:

As always, feedback is welcome!
Thanks,
Nancy
