This is why I recommended mbox in the first place. If your only writes to these mailbox files are appends of new messages, mbox is the best format by far. It's faster at appending than any other format, and it's faster for searching than any other.
Just as long as you're not simultaneously trying to read and write the mbox file (or just write in 2+ sessions). Then there's a lot waiting on locks. (mdbox has no read locks, and its write locks are very short lived.)
