The wiki would then have to be updated back. I anyway updated imaptest
now.

There isn't really much else it can give you.. imaptest isn't useful for
testing real world performance. The numbers it gives are mostly useful
only when compared against another setup with the same imaptest
parameters. The one exception I can think of is how many msgs/second you
can save to a mailbox:

imaptest - append=100 clients=10
