The simple test program I used is below. For a list with 89531
addresses, the config.pck file is 9248317 bytes = 8.9M. Doing ten
loads and then ten saves in a row, the average load time is 1.36sec
and the average save time is 4.5sec.
This is on a development server here at Matrix, which has two 1.1GHz
Intel CPUs and 2Gb of RAM; a respectable machine, but not what you'd
currently use for a server. So I think pickle really is pretty fast.
Of course, if you had your Mailman installation on a busy mail or
database server, all that I/O might kill you, but I think giving up on
the mtime caching is not completely unreasonable.

ml = MailList.MailList('amk-speed-test', lock=1)
e = time.time()
ml.Unlock()
L.append(e-s)
print e-s
print 'Average loading time=', sum(L)/len(L)
L = []
ml.Lock()
for i in range(10):
s = time.time()
ml.Save()
e = time.time()
L.append(e-s)
print e-s
ml.Unlock()
#print L
print 'Average save time=', sum(L)/len(L)
