[ale] cyrus - slow reconstruct of mailboxes.db

Anybody run cyrus for delivery on upwards of 10,000 mailboxes?  How long 
does it take to start up master after a catastrophic failure assuming its 
running ctl_cyrusdb -r?

Does ctl_cyrusdb -r walk every user mailbox and do a thorough reconstruct?

Anybody know how to speed this up, or keep a secondary, failover 
mailboxes.db that can be moved in to replace the corrupt one in event of 
a catastrophic failure?

cheers,
jenn

and incomplete data, with ignorant, sloppy or biased reporting, with propaganda
and deliberate falsehoods, and you destroy his whole reasoning processes, and
make him something less than a man.
