Well if you're deleting all mails it should be very fast, even for mbox.
It basically just doesn't copy anything into a new mbox and links over
it.

And if you say have a total of 1000 messages and delete a number of
them, it should be taking seconds, and not minutes to expunge, so well,
i dont really know.  Unless you have very slow disk or something.

Is your home dir on NFS or something like that, etc?
