That sounds like a problem to me. Could an inc have to
wait a half hour for a refile/folder -pack/or any of a
large number of other operations to finish?
That's what I was trying to explain. In the inc case, the actual fiddling
time is small. Re-reading the sequence file after you're done incorporating
the messages solves that problem. I cannot envision a scenario where
that does not solve the problem, but if you can come up with one I'd
gladly rethink that.
Refile generally doesn't take a huge amount of time, if it can do hard links.
folder -pack is the big one, but when I looked at that there are actually
a bunch of things that does that really expect no one is doing anything
else to the folder during that time period, so I would argue that any other
operations should block during that time.
