Yes, I'm surprised too. I have no idea how it could be done, but it's
really faster. (why??)

This is my slow computer. :)

OS:	FreeBSD 5.0
CPU:	K6-2 400MHz
MUA:	Wanderlust 2.10.0

And some mailboxes have 1000+ mails.

OK, I'll try it if I have time, but I suspect the mount option -o
noatime would be the source of the problem... (I've dropped the
option.)

BTW, Here's another ominous message.
