Hmmm, so how many mails in one directory are we talking about?
~35k on biggest worst folders. The thing is that dovecot seems to not just read the contents once but for each select or something.
If Xen is the only thing you can't get out of, have you considered using an alternate filesystem? For example, I hear ReiserFS does very well with Maildir (though I haven't tried it on anything big).
I don't trust reiserfs at all, it has eaten my data repeatedly. It would also be quite hard to go away from ext3 anyway :)
