[LUNI] Cyrus vs. Courier for small installations

[sten]

I've been running Cyrus for a couple years now, but having to use the
sasldb and sieveshell never really rubbed me right. I stayed because I like
having a mailstore outside $HOME, and while I dislike the sieveshell,
having a mail filtering language I can read and understand (vs. procmail)
is really great. I had run Courier for a while, and had the vague notion
that I could put a mailstore somewhere other than $HOME via a per-user
configuration, and now I was just reading about Maildrop which somehow went
completely under my radar. Now I'm itching to go back, but before I go
whole-hog and migrate, I thought I'd ping the list. My only remaining
concerns are regarding speed and memory usage- I know Cyrus is almost
certainly faster for full-text searching, which I do use at least a couple
times a week, but my server currently only has 2 real accounts, maybe 100
messages on a busy day after Postgrey rejects a ton. Aside from searching,
has anyone noticed significant speed differences or differences in memory
footprint between the two?

TIA,
Sten
