dovecot - Nov 2014 - slow incremental indexing of maildirs with squat

Hi!

I'm using Dovecot 2.1.7 on Debian Wheezy 32-bit (package version is 
1:2.1.7-7+deb7u1) with maildirs.

My problem is that the incremental indexing of maildirs with squat takes 
a very long time... I don't know if it reindexes anything, but it seems 
it iterates though all messages on each search query and reads them. It 
works fast only on successive queries within several minutes, probably 
because of the messages being in cache.

What do you think, is it a bug?

Quoting from the Wiki: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Squat

NOTE: The Squat code is quite slow for large mailboxes. There are also  
a few bugs that are unlikely to be fixed. In v2.1+ it's recommended to  
use fts-lucene instead.

So you should do what the wiki does suggest, either switching to  
Lucene or Solr.
