Hello!
Switching from UW-IMAP/mbox to dovecot/mbox has even a large performance
gain (I would say around 10-100, on large folders because of the index
files.). Also deleting is much faster.
I haven't benchmarked it but it is definitly much, much faster.
(That was the reason I left UW-IMAP).
Ciao,
Gerhard

A friend of mine passed me this[1] cause I'm recommending him Dovecot.
My personal experience is very different to the one in that benchmark. I
will appreciate similar links from those of you who had benchmarked
Dovecot against other IMAP servers.
I'm conscious that my personal experience is far to be a objetive
comparison. I switched from UW-Imap/Mbox to Dovecot/Maildir a box with
45k local users, 3.5MB/s sustained IMAP/POP traffic in work hours. The
main performance gain is from mbox -> maildir switching. Anyway the
users (and myself) "perceive" a good performance with the new setup.
