Not long ago, an update of Adium wanted me to update my Growl
I went in the console and got the lines under here (the first lines repeat15/20 times). I sent myself an email to see if GrowlMail did the same and it didn't react.
Adium completely hangs over this issue, Mail didn't have a problem.
When opening the control panel, I noticed Growl was stopped (but the checkbox to turn it on at every startup was checked)

These messages are not related to Growl. Some of them are messages from system daemons, some are from Mail, and since you didn't copy the beginning of the first messages, I can't really tell what app sent them. What I do know is that it uses Quickdraw, and Growl certainly doesn't.

It's still going blazing slow...
This time the console looks quite different than what I'm used to.
I had just pressed the restart button, tired of waiting till my computer was going to react (i'm on B/W G3 with too little ram, it might be a reason)
