Hi
Is 1.0 alpha3 a bit slower than the dovecot-1.0.stable branch?
Regards Daniel
For what it's worth - it seems slower to me as well. Using mbox format.

Weird, I upgraded last night, and too me it seemed faster. But this just me, probally the same speed, Im probally mis reading things again.
Out of interest, have you check what the box is doing, maybe you have another service thats demanding some attention.
Just my 2c.
Kind Regards Brent Clark
It seems to have slowed down just after Alpha 1. Alpha 2 seems to be where it started getting slow. Or at least it seemed that way.

Well, let's get methodical about this. Since several are saying "yes, it's slower", yet some are saying "no, it's faster", and (I'm sure) many more are not saying anything.... let's try to track it down:
Which auth schemes are you each using? Which mail storage format? Is it local or remote store? What level of updating dirtiness do you have set?
Anything else different you can think of?
Let's help Timo know where to focus.

Deleting messages is the slowest part. Trying to delete about 100 messages out of 6000 and been waiting for 10 minutes. Load levels are low and the computer is a dual core athlon with 300 gig drives.

Yeah, that's a good start - a fairly specific case... but can you now try answering any of my questions?
Mbox or Maildir would be an obvious place to start...

Tried the same with Alpha 3 Maildir on my mail cluster and my home SGI330 (Dual P3), seems fine. Just been looking at the CVS commits now, there has been a lot of work on locking for mboxes since Alpha 3, you may find this is the root of your problem.
