All the large directories are indexed, but some smaller or empty ones
seem not to be.  Here's a line from the directory I reported on, and
then one that doesn't show as indexed.  The find took about 3 minutes to
run.
/var/spool/cyrus/mail/r/user/ross/debian/user Indexed_direcctory
/var/spool/cyrus/mail/r/user/ross/debian/devel ---

During the find, as during my other operations that take a long time,
vmstat shows around 40-45% of the CPU time in io wait.  I'm not sure if
the pseudo-dual CPU's are throwing that off, i.e., if that really means
80-90%.
