BTW Akonadi 15.08 contains the binary protocol which helps to improve 
performance.

Akonadi 15.12 will contain performance improvements that shift the bottleneck 
towards KMail building message lists on displaying huge folders. KMail from 
git master already also contains some major performance improvements in that 
area. Running Akonadi and KDEPIM from git master makes a huge difference for 
me.

How it is for Akonadi/KDEPIM 15.08 I will see once I update the workstation at 
work to it.

Also note: In case you want to try Akonadi / Git Master see the Debian wiki 
page I created which contains hints how to set up paths and links to upstream 
build instructions. But beware! You currently can´t go back. Akonadi from Git 
master uses a leveled hierarchy for file_db_data directory.
