[Dovecot] 1.0(.14) vs 1.1.2 performance

[Thomas Hummel]

Hello Timo,

I just switched from dovecot-1.0.14 to dovecot-1.1.2 and noticed a significant
drop in the server load average (which has become lower and above all doesn't
seem to have unexplained peaks). Indexes are still locally stored and nfs
attribute caching is still off).

I searched the list archives for an explanation of what changed in the code
that could explain such an improvement but mostly (except maybe some index code
rewrite mentions) found differences in features.

Where does that performance gap come from ?
