This is correct. dovecot.index doesn't need to be created/updated  
always, and dovecot.index.cache isn't created because there's nothing  
that's known wanted to be cached.

What do you mean by "open"? If you open it with an IMAP client it  
probably fetches a lot of data and Dovecot needs to parse the messages  
for that. deliver doesn't pre-cache anything it doesn't know a client  
wants, so this is slow for the first messages. But if you do for  
example:

1. deliver the first mail
2. open the mailbox
3. deliver lots of large mails
4. open the mailbox again

It should be fast. (and I just tested - it is)

They should be, but if you still have problems with it being slow,  
maybe there's a small incompatibility.
