I run cyrus, a lot of other people run cyrus, so presumably some users
use it.

cyrus uses it's own mailbox format which is one of the most efficient
out there (I believe, but I havn't done any formal testing) and can
tweak/change it between versions, since cyrus is a closed system
and nothing else has to read it.
It's certainly more like maildir than mailbox, file per message, and I
believe the indexes are kept seperately and not generated on the fly,
so it's pretty good on memory usage.
If you want further details, read the docs ...
