Why is Gnu sieve so extremely fast to batch process an mbox file, but while Dovecot's sieve-filter is an order of magnitude slower? Sequence: - mpop or getmail to pipeline download emails into temp mbox file - filter that file Gnu sieve just flies through a local mbox file and saving emails to

A regular itchy annoyance for years now: df shows bytes, df -h shows only one decimal place, so e.g. on a 1.8TiB drive "1.6T" is the free space, but that resolution/ precision is insufficient. Of course I can fire up bc, set scale=20 and do some powers of 1024 division, but that's all very clunky.
