KMail stores some special status of messages in its binary indexes:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-pim&m=112707919726650&w=2
I suppose that KMail does some kind of trick to store this special status in
the server. Maybe this is causing the slowdown.

Its very likely that the offlineimap program doesn't understand kmail's
indexes, so it simply ignores them, and the changes are not propagated to the
server.
