Same question!
I have about 1TB used and it takes 22 hrs to backup maildirs!
I have problens with ocfs2 in fouding the file!
Just an idea, but have you evaluated performance of mdbox (new dovecot format) on your storage devices? It appears to be a gentle hybrid of mbox and maildir, with many mails packed into a single file (which might increase your performance due to fewer stat calls), but there is more than one file per folder, so some of the mbox limitations are avoided?
I haven't personally tried it, but I think you can see the theoretical appeal?
Good luck
