The last time I tried to run notmuch new on my incoming archive it
crashed the box.

But back then the archive was on an external drive, several usb-storage
and general usb bugs have been fixed since then, and my dives are all
internal now.

So it is time for another try.

But first, how much ram and disk should I expect to need, as a function
of the size of the maildir archive?

(It is a tree of dirs, with maildir dirs at the leaves.  OTOH 20+ M
messages and just under 256 Go, base on du(1).)

Trying to avoid data loss due to crashes...
