On mailboxes patterns with low incoming mail (< 100kb / day) this would waste much space. Of course I can decrease rotate size a lot but it would then produce a lot of files and would certainly become similar performance-wise to sdbox/maildir/...
128MB is quite a large rotate size if you care about disk space.. We use the default 2 MB, which still packs quite a lot of messages per file compared to maildir. Single maildir-files seems to be around 5-30KB (compressed), which should amount to 50-400 messages per m-file. I don't think that should be similar to maildir/sdbox performance-wise.
