If you look at the log messages, there's one at the emitted at the beginning of loading the headers, and one at the end, so you can see exactly how much time adding a cache will save you (minus however long it takes to load things in from disk). I'm curious what this number is for 40000 headers. It seems to be about 10 seconds for my 5000-message IMAP folder, so I can imagine it being quite significant. -- William
