Actually, the mail clients were mozilla, thunderbird, and kmail, and
maybe even squirrel, can't remember if I tested that though. All were
slow with dovecot stable, but when I downgraded to 0.99.x, the problems
went away and performance was back to around uw-imap's performance or
better.

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
