Speaking of performance: Just coming from a thread in a german mailing
list, where several users had severe performance troubles with search
(for a phrase in the message body). They counted up to 15 min for a
search in a directory of 10'000 mails, while this took around 1 min
here. They did a lot of research and testing and finally found the above
mentionned option to be the cause, what I confirm: Using the option
increases the time required drastically.

Maybe there should be a warning that a particualar type of searches gets
(almost) unusable by using this option...?
