Yep, switched from my custom mutt+offlineimap setup to using the FastMail web interface entirely a while back - and I very rarely miss it. Sure I could filter my email a little faster having one SSD all to myself rather than sharing IOPs with other users, but it's still plenty fast enough for my needs - and if it isn't, then I know it's time to get better hardware or find something to optimise in the code, because other users are feeling the same pain.
(optimising the code can be the tiniest things too - I stripped a misguided optimisation just the other day, for about a 10% speedup in some very common operations. Just removing a flag single test as every character was appended to a buffer - even though it meant having to potentially do a malloc and memcpy in the degenerate case - is a win overall in our tests)
