I do not believe that the switch by itself makes things a lot faster ( So you 
have sum up the time the database processes are consuming resources?), but 
with a switch to postgres you get rid of all broken elements in the database 
(reported by akonadictl fsck) and so Akonadi can now sync properly afterwards 
and do not run every time into the slow error correction paths. That may be 
the main reason, why it is that damn more faster than before. And from a 
political point of view I can support the switch to postgres too :D 

So it may be not real the reason why it get faster, but in the end it doesn't 
matter what make kmail faster :)

Did anyone have made a measurement for the different back ends?
