Package: maildir-utils Version: 0.4-2 Severity: wishlist I've got a Maildir hierarchy with about 50k mails. I tried to use mu-index to index this Maildir. Updating it after changes takes quite long especially after deleting messages. It also produces heavy disk io load.
Deleting 500 messages makes mu-index take about half an hour. Most of the time (everything except less than one minute) is used for "cleaning up database". Another instance with 1k messages took one hour. Generating the index took about two hours iirc, so for deleting 2k messages it should be cheaper to start with a fresh index from scratch. Can this be improved with some tuning options? Underlying filesystem is ext3. It currently does not have dir_index. Would that help? (Most of the time seems to be writing to ~/.mu.)
