Yes, I am aware of a performance problem when adding a message to a large
mailbox. The entire index and status file is always rewritten.
You are not the only person to have complained about this problem. The
focus on my efforts had been to make mix as reliable as possible. Now, my
focus is to improve performance.
I intend to implement code to optimize this case this year. I have
various ideas for how to do this, but one of my concerns is to make the
new code interoperate with the old code. If it is not possible to
guarantee this interoperability, I will do something to make sure that old
code does not corrupt new code mailboxes.
