The upcoming dbox and cydir formats of course beat everything in performance :)
cydir ? Does this mean there is a cyrus-like storage coming soon ?
Already in v1.1 tree. It's what I'm using for my index file stress tests, because the format is practically just the index files and "<uid>." named files.
I just read http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-May/022772.html, and the results look really impressive. 10 times faster than Maildir...
Time to upgrade and test ! :-)
Just remember that if you lose the index files there's no easy way to recover the mailbox. Well, except by copying the files to maildir..
I'm not sure if I should try to make cydir anything else than a benchmark format or a simple example for writing mail storage backends. I'm hoping that dbox will be practically as fast in all situations.
