[Bug 1483796] Re: Terrible performance for ~b/~B searching

[Serge Hallyn]

Hi,

this is actually fixed in the current unstable package.  But the debdiff
is quite large and it's late in the cycle, so I'll cherrypick just the
patch into wily and propose a patch for vivid.

Could you please add a simple test case (maybe using a wget'ed online
mbox) for the SRU justification?

Bug description:
  There's been a major performance regression in mutt for all releases
  since Trusty for ~b/~B searching. I use this for highlighting messages
  in my mailboxes, and this regression makes mutt nearly unusable.
  There's a fix upstream for this:
