Directory hashing slows down operations that do linear sweeps through 
the filesystem reading every single file, simply because without 
dir_index, there is likely to be a correlation between inode order and 
directory order, whereas with dir_index, readdir() returns entries in 
hash order.

thank you for the awareness training. Than mutt should be slower, too.
Maybe I should repeat that tests.

Only if you read every single file in each directory every time.  I 
thought mutt did header indexing and thus didn't need to do that.
