Some time ago I complained about very slow mbox. In the meantime I have
no time to check it. But recently I have to use them (compressed
mboxes) again. And no progress :(
Under http://strony.aster.pl/kjonca/mbox.log.gz (WARN: ~170MB)
 is file with output of strace -tt when dovecot try to open
rather huge bzipped mbox. And it took about four hours. 

Second open is a lot faster (about minute), but sometimes message
fetching take  about 30-60s
