A little different on my system, the mailbox I tested had 13028 emails, and was only fairly small, 36 meg. On a MAXTOR 6L040J2 running over ata66 on a reiser partition. Athlon 1000MHz, with 384MB ram. mbox 2.88s user 0.25s system 93% cpu 3.357 total maildir 3.10s user 0.82s system 94% cpu 4.014 total Don't know why but for me there isn't much of a difference between them, everyone else seems to be getting a big difference. I was however surprised with the cpu use. Looks like both are fairly heavy on my system. The times are fairly average, I ran it a few times and it made little difference, around 0.05s, and not much difference to the cpu usage. -- All generalizations are false, including this one. -- Mark Twain - David Clarke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | David Clarke <s3353950> Key Fingerprint : 869B 53DD 5E80 E1F0 93F6 9871 0508 0296 5957 F723
