I haven't used either of these tools, but they may be reporting different

Performance of many email clients is inversely proportional to the size of

Any email clients that exhibit such behavior are not worth using imho, and thunderbird is not one of those. I regularly deal with mailboxes containing > 4000 messages with a total size of 100 MB or more without any slowdowns.
