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).
I've heard of load average dropping from 100 to 0.02 :)
BTW, how is it that you get such great performance using mbox files? I would have thought it would be much slower than it is to delete the first message from say a 2 gig file? How do you do that so fast?
