Hmm, IMHO Dovecot is to cache most of the stuff, isn't it?
Esp. "LOGIN user pass" is cheap, because the password is cached.

imapproxy caches the output of LIST?
On the website the FAQ only talks about "connections", for me it reads 
that imapproxy saves to open another TCP connection, the possible creation 
of other Dovecot processes and the LOGIN command.
