Working with images was really fast, but emails are bunch of small files where
hard disk performace is more important, and there wasn't much difference.
BTW, that was the reason to switch to mbox format from KMail default maildir.
The mbox keeps all emails in one file, so hard disk performace was important
only once when that file was read in RAM. Well, story is not that simple, you
have to copy your whole Mail directory to for instance Mailone, remove Mail
and rename Mailone to Mail, every once in a while. That is replacement for
disk defragmenter. Thanks to the way ext3 is handling that once is a while
doesn't mean once a month, merely once in a year, and only for something like
mbox that is used daily and growing fast.
