So far I had been using gdbm, but I now see that emerge also added lmdb.
Same here, so I gave lmdb a try as hcache backend.
Which one is best to use? What have you chosen?
I assume you mean for speed? I don’t know and it may become very
academic to answer this. But you can find some none Mutt-specific
benchmark results on NeoMutt’s website [1].
Note, the mentioned benchmark page say:
“[…] you’ll need a reasonable large number of
messages – >50k – to see anything interesting”
Using lmdb as backend, I do not realise any differences over gdbm within
Mutt respectively NeoMutt and I doubt one really can (without measuring
it exactly – which I haven’t done yet).
