I certainly noticed a massive improvement when I went from mail spool
files to maildir on Dovecot.

I can see the thinking behind using links as flags as opposed to files
with just a few bytes of data in them.  Though I think it wouldn't work
well with large configuration files being done that way, and I couldn't
see them being very human-friendly.
