Subject:    Why does a maildir resync take 4mn? (maildir_header_cache_verify = no)

I have
set	folder="~/Maildir/"
set	header_cache="~/Maildir/"
set	maildir_header_cache_verify = no

The header cache definitely helps, I can open a 40,000 message maildir in
seconds instead of several minutes.
However, if the parent directory of the folder I'm viewing, gets modified
(let's say I'm in ~/Maildir/.snd/ and I send a new mail), mutt takes a silly
time to resync the folder, like 4mn for 40,000 messages.

Is there anything I can do to make mutt more bearable in this case like this?
Why is mutt resyncing everything when I do have maildir_header_cache_verify
set to no? What else can I do to stop this?

I have Mutt 1.5.13 (2006-08-11)
