dovecot - Jan 2012 - howto disable indexing on dovecot-lda ?

Hello,
is it possible to disable indexing on dovecot-lda ?

Right now postfix delivers the mail directly to the nfs server without 
any problems. If I switch to dovecot-lda the system crashes do to the 
high I/O and locking.
Indexing on lda is not very useful because the number of of imap logins 
is less than 5% that of incoming mails, so an user could wait for 3 sec 
to get his mail index, but a new mail can't.

Dovecot version  1.2.15
mail_nfs_storage = yes
mail_nfs_index = yes

Than you !

protocol lda {
  mail_location = whatever-you-have-now:INDEX=MEMORY
}

Disabling indexing won't disable writing to dovecot-uidlist file. So I
don't know if disabling indexes actually helps.

Then why bother with Dovecot LDA w/disabled indexing (the main reason
for using it in the first place) instead of simply sticking with Postfix
Local(8)?
