We found that on our server, *not* using imapproxy improved our 
performance. We used to use imapproxy to great effect when we were 
using BincIMAP, but Dovecot is so darn fast (and caches its own 
authentication) that all imapproxy added was additional inter-process 
communication (translation: slower than just using Dovecot alone).
