This is an O(n) algorithm. Since it happens every n/2 times it causes O(n^2) behavior across n consecutive APPENDs.

I'll look at this more closely later, but did you already try
maildir_very_dirty_syncs=yes? Does this behavior happen also with it?


Hello Timo,

Also i have observed this behaviour. Although i think it's not the most urgent matter, it would really be nice if you could speed up massive message imports.

In our case, we don't use it that much for migration, but sometimes some POP users like to be able to backup their messages in the IMAP server.

Thanks in advance,

Hugo Monteiro.
