There is no setup needed for many uses. All + utilities have been written with performance in mind. Enumeration of all + messages in a maildir is avoided unless necessary, and then optimized to + limit syscalls. Parsing message metadata is optimized to limit I/O + requests. Initial operations on a large maildir may feel slow, but as + soon as they are in the file system cache, everything is blazingly fast. + The utilities are written to be memory efficient (i.e. not wasteful), but + whole messages are assumed to fit into RAM easily (one at a time). + </longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
