[Dovecot] Performance with 200k messages in Maildir

[Patrick Domack]

that is hardly worth considering the load :)

Running spamassassin/clamav will use more load than dovecot would.  
Probably using mutt directly against the mailstore might not be good,  
but I have no issues with my own mailstore around that size.
