I was considering using the imaptest tool to simulate IMAP activity. I would keep the same machine configuration, only varying the mailbox format while running imaptest against each setup for a few hours/days. I'm now converting the original Maildir format to both dbox formats and I'll give it a try. I'll share some graphs afterwards.
