Perhaps I just missed something - but what was used to benchmark? IMHO? I'm curious as I wouldn't mind trying to benchmark (in general) my Maildir setup. Granted, I don't have an mbox comoparison anymore for the same machine, but it would be an interesting one none the less.
If you go to my site (which is actually my public Subversion source repository), you can take a look. The page explains how I did the benchmarks in great detail, and every script name in the tables is a link to the actual Perl script that did the test.
I wrote a couple of the benchmarks based on IMAP traffic that I sniffed from both IMHO and SquirrelMail, but the benchmarks themselves did the stressing using Perl scripts.
Perhaps there are other (political?) reasons for sticking w/ mbox, however.
Yep. That, and our servers are currently Solaris and are using a filesystem format that is horribly slow in dealing with directories (flat instead of B-Tree)...I am adding benchmarks for other formats (including maildir and cyrus) as soon as I can get to them.

Music stands halfway between thought and phenomenon, between spirit and matter, a sort of nebulous mediator, like and unlike the things it mediates. Spirit that requires manifestation in time and matter that can do without space...we do not know what music is.
