The only way to fix the slow I/O problem, especially with large mail boxes is to convert to mix format. mbx format is only marginally better than mbox from a performance standpoint. This is from my personal experience of having mail boxes with 40,000+ messages and >2GB in size.
This brings up a question I've had: both traditional format and MBX run into issues when they cross the 2 GiB boundary, because of signedness issues in the UW code. I realize a MIX folder is composed of multiple files, but does that mean that the 2 GiB is not a problem for MIX?
