If my mbox file is representative, fragmentation isn't too bad.
The file is 3.5 MB and a wc -v on it took 11.36 seconds real
time.  That's 315 kcps.  A cp to /dev/null takes about 7.56
seconds, for 472 kb/second.  This is with a Wren IV, which gets
about 1100 on Coretest.  All in all, not bad for a file which
should be about as fragmented as any.
