The patch undoes the Postfix 2.3 change that is responsible for
the shorter-than-expected proxymap lifetimes that you observed
on low-traffic systems.
With that change backed out, the reduced ipc_idle change from
Postfix 2.4 will finally get a chance to fix the excessive lifetime
of proxymap and trivial-rewrite processes on high-traffic systems.
