We are having some performancec issues on our server at the moment - all I can put it down to is the large size of some maildirs. Eg.
ls -ld Maildir/curmight show a directory >20Mb in size for some of our users (20-30k emails). (Performance issues == everything is running ok then all of a sudden load avg goes through the roof, system cpu time goes crazy. Reading mail grinds to a halt. Then everything recovers just as suddenly and the load avg gradually returns to normal levels)
Do you have POP3 users? What clients do your users typically use?
BTW. Kind of nasty to hijack a pretty much unrelated thread to your question..
