Boah, a very huge difference! I'd love to know what dbmail 2.3 would be 
in size.

Please also compare results of the searches. Dbmail has a bug somewhere 
(don't remember exactly, lookup archives, maybe of -dev), which will not 
necessarily find all messages.
Please also do different kinds of searches (subject, From:, any header, 
any content, etc.).

Please perform such accesses always 5 times in a row, and remember each 
time. Caches will change performance on both products, would be 
interesting to see how much.

Are you also able to do this:
*) simulate a single user signing in, read list of all mailboxes (should 
be 20 or so with subfolders), then for every mailbox get list of 
messages, read some messages. Close. Make other tests with other users, 
and deliver about 100 messages into that users mailboxes. Reconnect as 
that user again, get list of new mails. read some of them. close
*) then rerun above test with 20 users in parallel.
*) then again with 50 users in parallel.

Maybe we can see which product scales better. Although we have no idea 
which hardware you test on.
