i couldn't give you numbers, but i'd say it'd be noticeable. assuming you're using UFS, which searches directories linearly. might try mounting partitions with the noatime option too? i don't remember if qpopper cares about the last accessed time of files. could save yourself a I/O write there. might try using maildir, which doesn't use .pop files at all, and doesn't write status headers, which helps I/O but will increase CPU usage a bit (having to generate the UIDL from the each filename) (tradeoff). --Tony .-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.
