I've found that adding messages to folders seems to take time linear to the size of the folder, resulting in quadratic time required to transfer a bunch of messages into a folder. In particular, I'm copying 20000 messages into a folder - at the beginning of the copy, it was adding probably half a dozen messages per second; now that the copy is 11000 messages in, it seems to take about 2.5 seconds per message. At this rate the remaining 9000 messages are going to take a while...
Is this a known problem? Is there a fix? If not, should I look into it further?
bincimapd is pegged at nearly 100% CPU usage while this is going on. I'm running release 1.2.8 of BINC on Debian, on a reiserfs filesystem, using Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 as client. My system is based on a 1000 MHz VIA Nehemiah processor - not terribly fast.
