Hi Timo,
I did a test with manully perform ls a hunderd times on the
/dap/mstorage/example.com/dino/Maildir/cur
but the response is very fast and without the strange delay like
inside dovecot.
With 558 emails inside the cur directory. The time to execute the ls
is just
real 0m0.061s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m0.008s
Regards,
Dino

This means that a simple "ls" call on that cur directory would take
about 11 seconds (when the directory entries aren't already cached).
You
could verify that this happens.
So I can't really say anything else than that the problem is somewhere
outside Dovecot..
