I'm not really sure what you mean. It starts from the dovecot.conf and
reads and parses everything that gets included there. For testing you
could just do:

doveconf > dovetest.conf

And then try with:

time doveconf -m lda -c dovetest.conf > /dev/null

And keep removing stuff until it finishes quickly (without giving any
errors).

That's a long time. It takes 0.02 in my somewhat old machine.
