It would be helpful to know what mailhandler 2.x is capable of in terms of fetch/parse/process n. messages per minute, and what some of the slow points are. This could be compared to regular feeds node processing. It would be important to account for network latency, by either tracking the time that goes toward fetching where internet connection / imap stream occurs, or, fetching from a mailbox on the same machine as where mailhandler is running.

This would be cool, but I don't really see the necessity / demand / utility - as long as the performance is 'good enough' and not causing timeouts or other performance issues. However it might be useful to log / display this sort of information on import, i.e. "Imported 2 new messages in 13.7 seconds", for debugging purposes.

Yeah, I'm just not sure that this is worth the effort unless people actually start indicating that performance is a problem.
