Hi all!
I switched from mbox to Maildir a few days ago. I always had the
feeling that Maildir is much slower - well for big Mailboxes at least
- than mbox. Now I did some testing.
2970 Messeges
- 9 MB mbox file : 4 secs
- as Maildir (totals to 10 MB): 10 secs
- Maildir (cashed i.e. read the same Maildir twice) 4 secs
P200 on a IDE disk with dma enabled.
Has anybody had similar expriences?
Michael
