I noticed someone mentioned delayed expunges, which is implemented  
nearly identically for Dovecot using lazy-expunge plugin. Although  
with maildir that requires renaming the files elsewhere while Cyrus is  
able to just leave the files where they are. I'll probably implement  
the same thing for dbox format some day.
