i tend to keep my mail box pruned, but still keep nearly ½ of all the

i've not had any problems.  e.g:

cpu% grep 'Well as much as I love how upas' /mail/fs/mbox/*/body
/mail/fs/mbox/2634/body:Well as much as I love how upas/fs works, it, along 
with Acme's Mail

/mail/fs/mbox/2640/body:> Well as much as I love how upas/fs works, it, along

have you found a upas limit?


I've not... I was just expressing my skepticism of it's ability to
scale.  Perhaps it's not as bad as I thought.

As in my saying "as much as I love how upas/fs works" I was actually
thinking that having mail as a filesystem was clearly a big bonus, for
tools like grep/sed/awk to be applied to.
