That can't be realistically answered by the APR library. In point of fact, mod_mbox uses the hash table to store all of the message IDs when computing threads. (It uses DBMs to store the complicated information, but it uses the hash when doing the threading calculation because of the insanely fast in-memory lookups keyed off of the Message-IDs.) We have at least one mbox file with about 2,000 messages. -- justin
