I confirm this problem affects me. I didn't do very precise benchmark, but with 4000+ mails in a Maildir, tokyocabinet takes ~90s to build the initial cache on my btrfs partition, but gdbm only takes ~50s to do the same thing. After building the initial cache, it will take about ~2s for tokyocabinet to read the cached headers before sorting mailbox, but gdbm can do that in a flash.
