Shot in the dark: Especially under MacOS 10.4 I sometimes
improved things by:
$ tar cjf slow-maildir.tar.bz2 slow-maildir
$ mv slow-maildir slow-maildir-bak
$ tar xjf slow-maildir.tar.bz2
Delete and rebuild header cache.
$ rm -r slow-maildir-bak
Background: HFS+ seems to sometimes have problems with lots of
small files. No guarantees, might just be a placebo effect ;-)
