/home/ is also NFS served and mounted appropriately.
100mbit switched network between server and client, and to test...
6.8 seconds for mutt to open a 25meg mbox file with 1250 messages.
2.5 seconds on the second round with the file cached.
...I'm sure I could get better performance with a local /home/, and I'm
sure I'm risking some nasty theoretical mbox corruption too. But it's
fast enough for me, and I've corrupted nothing yet. :)
