Anyone have any information (anecdotal or otherwise) on the

cyrus versus UW-IMAPd on really big mailboxes (more than 1 gig/30k messages)? Or is this exclusively a function of mailbox format?
I wondered this myself, as one of the main reasons i switched to cyrus-imap was the woeful performance of uw-imap.
On UW-imap, mailboxes only 10meg in size took "a while" to open. Far longer than they should. On Cyrus, there was no noticeable delay between clicking on the message, and the message loading in the preview pane.
Did you use mbx mailbox format with UW-IMAP? Did you try searching on the server side? -pawel
