For comparison later on after I've been able to make the changes here is a reprint of the time on Freebsd and now duplicate manuever on the same machine but under Linux (Redhat 7.1)

On FreeBSD 4.3

du -sh mail_test 94M mail_test

rm -rf mail_test real 7m13.484s user 0m0.117s sys 0m3.080s

I don't happen to have 94meg of mail files handy, but.. [chowder 23:42] /tmp > du -s foo 18904 foo [chowder 23:42] /tmp > /usr/bin/time rm -rf foo 0.22 real 0.00 user 0.17 sys

I have write caching and softupdates on though. (That directory has 3893 messages in it).

time rm -rf Mail real 0m1.892s user 0m0.110s sys 0m1.818s

Roughly 600 % faster on linux, and that is on the same box (PentiumII 233mhz).

I've got to hit the road now but making the configs will give me something todo in the Motels... he he.

Well, let's say it's a linear relationship.. 94 / 18.9 = 4.9735

0.22 * 4.9735 = 1.09 seconds.

For data this small the results are probably meaningless anyway.
