I did, and I agree that it's Dovecot's searching code that's the bottleneck in your system, that's why I said it should work faster (with less CPU usage) in v1.1. You could get a v1.2 Debian package from backports.org.

And you're right, Dovecot doesn't try to use threads to do searching faster. I don't think it's all that useful in most installations, and implementing it is too much work.
