Same for a spinning disk, completely different hardware so numbers can't be meaningfully compared to above ones: Maildir, uncached: 13.9s Maildir, cached: 5.0s mdbox, uncached: 6.8s mdbox, cached: 4.9s Mails were first written to mdbox, then dsynced to Maildir, so I guess they should have been stored relatively close to each others. ext4 filesystem.
