Yeah, I used to use that for a while. It helped quite a bit with our
squirrelmail/bincimap setup. After moving to Dovecot, which does it's
own authentication caching, imapproxy proved to be more of a
performance hindrance (due to extra context-swapping and memory
copying) than it was a benefit. Our setup is noticeably snappier than
it was before, even when imapproxy was involved (dovecot caches more
things than imapproxy can, and uses index files to reduce disk I/O).
BUT, you're absolutely right that imapproxy can improve performance
significantly in some situations.
