I actually think it's probably the most relevant point! :-) It's why,
when I started this thread, I said that it's not a deal breaker. I'm
staying with maildir.
... by the way I just timed a 'du' on my main directory full of
(maildir) directories:-

(and, no, I didn't cheat, that was a 'cold start' du, I hadn't just
run one before)
Even *copying* the whole of my 1.5Gb mail hierarchy takes only 8
seconds.
