In-memory indexes are pretty bad for performance. v1.1 with indexes on
NFS and mail_nfs_* settings set to "yes" should give a lot better
performance and reliability than v1.0.

Anyway the problem is that Dovecot does:

1. Lock dovecot-uidlist file
2. link() 65000 files to destination mailbox
3. Unlock dovecot-uidlist

If step 2 takes minutes, there isn't really much that can be done to fix
this.. Doing the linking without uidlist being locked could cause all
kinds of trouble.
