Is there much of a speed boost from using this option?  The main thing I
noticed when moving from NewsBase for storage, many years ago now, was how
slow newsgroup expiry became, and I had assumed this was because of rewriting
big compressed files.  NewsBase saved messages in individual files, which
saved a lot of time when deleting, but of course probably used rather more
disc space especially as most of these files are small.

I suppose there may be a speed difference noticeable in opening big messages
such as those with large JPEGs attached?
