It probably doesn't have much relevance to Dovecot+mbox though. Maildir is faster with expunges and with concurrent mailbox access, but I think Dovecot+mbox (without external changes) is faster for pretty much everything else. Anyway I think the main reason to use maildir is that it's much more difficult to corrupt mailboxes. The upcoming dbox and cydir formats of course beat everything in performance :)
