Close! I actually reworked it and have a good working solution, and it 
turns out xargs is much faster than -exec. The final line I have is:

find /home/*/*/Maildir/.Junk/ -regex '.*/\(cur\|new\)/.*' -type f -ctime 
+14 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f

...which brought me down to about 1m 12sec or so, but I'm sure there's a 
lot of caching here. Regardless it's still a very nice increase!

thanks,
-te
