With SSDs the Maildir performance should be pretty good too. Here are some SSD numbers when searching from mailbox with 10k messages:
Maildir, uncached: 6.7s Maildir, cached: 2.2s mdbox, uncached: 2.8s mdbox, cached: 2.0s
Same for a spinning disk, completely different hardware so numbers can't be meaningfully compared to above ones:
Maildir, uncached: 13.9s Maildir, cached: 5.0s mdbox, uncached: 6.8s mdbox, cached: 4.9s
Mails were first written to mdbox, then dsynced to Maildir, so I guess they should have been stored relatively close to each others. ext4 filesystem.
