Notwithstanding the fact that Beagle created performance issues

entire
MBox file into memory in order to index your mail). It doesn't
have to do
that with Maildir since each mail is a separate file.
He (Gary) is using Thunderbird, which I believe does not support
maildir local folders.
That's correct, which I assume is not that rare?
That's the theory, but I have lots of large mboxes and I never lost one.
I have about 40 boxes in subtrees varying from near nothing to 600Mb
for the largest, but the total is between 2Gigs and 2.5Gigs. I don't
think that sets any records, although I assume that it's probably
above average. If Beagle can't index that with decent performance on
my hardware, then I have to wonder what it's doing out of Beta.
Right :-)

I just don't understand why it works so bad on such a good computer
and an average data load.
Simple, Gary.
It's poorly designed and/or written, because it's
behavior while executing is very careless, and consumes
resources far in excess of it's utility.
Beagle runs as if the whole reason for having data on a
computer is for beagle to have something to sort, rather
than that the purpose of beagle is to index the data
created and used by the programs that the user actually
wants to have the computer for.
The thing needs a complete overhaul.
