The DB is certainly slower than file, no doubt. However, I've noticed that
unless you're sending lots of emails (thousands an hour), it's still
acceptable. For my JDBC driver though, I found that performance dropped off
geometrically in relation to the size of the message, not so much the number
of messages. So a 1 meg message was maybe 100 times slower than a 100k
message.
The latest code in CVS greatly optimizes the DB access, and mail/spool
repositories in general.
