I figured it out!

Long story short, when I copied my mbox files over from one drive to
another, they went from fragmented to contiguous.  Sure enough, after
3-4 days of usage, they are now partially fragmented again, so indexing
takes a bit longer.

But I'm still seeing a significant boost.  Maybe 50%+, but no where near
the 3x I first saw.

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
