Sounds like an incredible speedup, and it'll be exciting to actually be able to say, "I've done high performance multithreaded database programming" :-) I don't mean to get into a code size war with you, but did you make sure to exclude CVS and autotools from your diff? I haven't been paying close attention to whose code it is that's usually had all of autotools patched, but just a heads up on that. I have a really nice excludes file that I'll post later this week (I'm not on my dev box yet, just finished moving rooms over the weekend, and my machine is still all in boxes :-( Now that DBMail is going multithreaded, libSieve will also have to become thread safe, which depends on flex being thread safe... there will probably need to be quite a few mutexes surrounding the sieve calls in 2.1.
