I have 'set header_cache=~/.mutt/cache/'.

The cache is for the headers, so that Mutt loads even local maildirs 
much faster.  So, I think even it might not be an issue, everybody might 
benefit from the cache.  Perhaps if you have small maildirs and/or a 
very powerful computer it doesn't make much a difference?
