Good morning
I understood that you wanted to hear feedback from users about skiplist.
A couple of weeks ago I converted all remaining cyrus databases to
skiplist. The conversion went fine and skiplist is working very well. I
got rid of berleleydb errors and I am happy :) I can recommend this to
anybody who does not like berkeleydb.
I used this simple conversion script

#!/bin/sh
/etc/init.d/cyrus2.2 stop
cd /root/cyrus-tietokantakonversio/
cp /var/lib/cyrus/deliver.db
/root/cyrus-tietokantakonversio/berkeleydb-vanhat
cp /var/lib/cyrus/tls_sessions.db
/root/cyrus-tietokantakonversio/berkeleydb-vanhat
cp -r /var/lib/cyrus/db/ /root/cyrus-tietokantakonversio/berkeleydb-vanhat
cp berkeleydb-vanhat/deliver.db ./deliver.db.berkeley
cp berkeleydb-vanhat/tls_sessions.db ./tls_sessions.db.berkeley
/usr/sbin/cvt_cyrusdb
/root/cyrus-tietokantakonversio/deliver.db.berkeley berkeley
/root/cyrus-tietokantakonversio/deliver.db.skiplist skiplist
/usr/sbin/cvt_cyrusdb
/root/cyrus-tietokantakonversio/tls_sessions.db.berkeley berkeley
/root/cyrus-tietokantakonversio/tls_sessions.db.skiplist skiplist
cp imapd.conf.skiplist /etc/imapd.conf
cp deliver.db.skiplist /var/lib/cyrus/deliver.db
cp tls_sessions.db.skiplist /var/lib/cyrus/tls_sessions.db
rm -f /var/lib/cyrus/db/log.*
/etc/init.d/cyrus2.2 start

Cyrus developers, please, change the defaults to skiplist, or anything
else than berkeleydb. At least in this use berkeleydb seems to be really
crappy, and I personally find stupid defaults very annoying, especially
when changing them afterwards might be risky.
Some background info about server: ~50 users, ~50 GB mail, ~1500
incoming messages/day. So not very busy one. Decent server hardware.
