Actually, in a really large folder, a database (with a decent
organization) could be significantly faster than "cat mailfile" on more
traditional filesystems.

However, as filesystems take on more database-like features, this
distinction will likely become less important.  (EG: dir_index on ext3).

Thanks for dovecot.  It's really great.
