Hi Erik,
speed can be an issue with nnmaildir. It depends on what mbsync does to
file update times in the various maildir directories. I switched to
nnml for my local email storage as it's a lot more efficient. For
nnmaildir, my groups had to be rescanned every time and this operation
takes O(n^4) time, where n is the number of emails in the group. The
rescanning was necessary, in my case, because I was using unison to keep
3-4 systems in sync which meant that gnus had to regenerate the index
tables it uses for each group.
But if mbsync is smart, you may not encounter this issue. Try it and
see?
