dovecot - Jan 2009 - Differences when expire plugin and cronjob?

Hello.

I would like to see the differnces between the expire plugin and a cronjob which
make a find/delete.
Is there performances differences? What's the best to use?

I use dovecot 1.1.8. Is expire plugin update the maildirsize and other indexes
files?

Thanks.

Regards,

find will go through all mailboxes while expire goes through only  
those mailboxes that actually have messages that need to be deleted.

Yes. And find/delete doesn't of course.
