Or maybe it'd work if I just grabbed exclusive lock whenever reading header sizes. They could be then copied into memory to avoid locking more than once. But that still creates locking contention if lots of clients are reading the mailbox. Exactly in the situation where I'd mostly use mboxes..
Would not one rather use Maildir and assume the Kernel caches directory data? No locking contention...
