My original motivation was user access to expunged messages and deleted 
mailboxes. But Cyrus 2.3, doesn't do this, so you are quite correct.

Not having to rewrite the entire cyrus.cache file on every expunge is a 
fairly substantial performance boost. We can keep this benefit by leaving 
unreferenced junk in the cache file and then garbage collecting (rewrite 
on expunge and/or cyr_expire) when the file reaches some threshold.
