[Dovecot] number of auth process

[Gabriel Millerd]

The understanding of the high performance server style that dovecot
uses is key here. As well as how the various operating systems deal
with their specific processes. I couldn't find a fast and easy
wikipedia page to link to you, nor am I comfy with linking a specific
page from http://httpd.apache.org and pining dovecot as 'it works like
this', but i am sure there is a solid apache parallel to one of the
apache2.0 types that would work well to describe dovecot and handling
the lda/imap/pop stuff.
