I don't think I've tried that one. Earlier on I experimented with 
fsync_disable=yes (which made a huge difference by the way) but that was 
before I started using mail_nfs_storage=yes and mail_nfs_index=yes

I would like to try using maildir_very_dirty_syncs=yes but is it 
advisable in combination with NFS?
