Right. This is kind of a design problem which isn't that easy to fix
(until v2.0). Do you really need more than count=1? I don't think
there's any benefit in having count (much) larger than the number of
CPUs in the system, and a count=1 can handle thousands of
connections/sec on my system.
My system isn't that busy but I'm getting really sluggish response from
Dovecot. Increasing the count seems to make a significant difference. I
can't explain why, but I'm trying to track down why I'm seeing a very
sluggish response time when I know I have plenty of computing horsepower
and it should be nearly instant.
