Performance mdbox vs mbox
If I do the same test[1] with mbox I can store around 31k messages and mdbox 16k messages. I noticed also that cpu and disk utilization with mdbox was not very high, while disk utilization on mbox was much higher. That makes me wonder if I can tune mdbox to have better performance?

No one should use box for anything. It was designed for mail stores of a few megabytes.
*Every* other choice is better.
