If the size is stored in maildir filename (,S=123) this is pretty fast, otherwise it's pretty slow because Dovecot stat()s the files, but afterwards it stores them to dovecot-uidlist file. So the main difference is that Maildir++ requires rescanning the quota periodically, while dict quota never rescans unless you run doveadm quota rescan.

documented)? Anyway, I'll use dict instead of maildir backend.
