When using mutt (1.5.8) with maildir format messages I experience a major preformance hit if, for instance, I've got lots of large messages. To quote a particular example I quite often have a mailbox with a few hundred messages in it, a good number of which are a few hundred kilobytes in length (main box text, no attachments). Within the message index/browser) whenever I move around there is a lot of disk activity and slowness, much slower then it used to be when I had a similar sized messages in a mbox format file. My guess is that mutt is rescanning each message in their entireity, whereas it should be suffficient just to read until the header section is finished. Is this something I can work around with an option, or is mutt just broken in this regard?
