[Dovecot] M-Box benchmark

[Gerhard Wiesinger]

Hello!

Switching from UW-IMAP/mbox to dovecot/mbox has even a large performance 
gain (I would say around 10-100, on large folders because of the index 
files.). Also deleting is much faster.

I haven't benchmarked it but it is definitly much, much faster.
(That was the reason I left UW-IMAP).

Ciao,
Gerhard
