How many have you told it to check via the `mailboxes` command in your
muttrc?

Depends on the status/condition of your hard drive. For example, if
your OS can cache all of the necessary meta data and inodes, it
doesn't have to check the disk every time... but if it cannot cache
them (for whatever reason, such as "doing lots of other disk
operations at the time", for example, if its rebuilding/maintaining a
search index or something), then it has to touch the disk to check up
on those files.

Hmmm... what version of mutt did you say you were using? I know there
was a bug a while back that made polls happen more frequently than
they were supposed to, but I'm pretty sure that got fixed.
