Hi Nico,

Reformatted excerpts from Nico Schottelius's message of 2009-07-13:

As others have pointed out, messages only have to be indexed once, so
this isn't ultimately that big of a deal. But 3m/s seems very slow for a
Maildir source.

With my mbox on my reasonably-fast laptop, I start with around 50m/s
using Ferret, and at 80m/s using Xapian. (These numbers degrade slightly
as the index gets fuller.) I would expect similar numbers from Maildir.

So something weird is happening for you. Do you have a notion of whether
it's disk or CPU that's the bottleneck?
