Like imapproxy which holds the connection for subsequent requests to avoid the short-lived HTTP connection issue. I certainly recommend it for squirrelmail installations since squirrelmail can't IDLE the connection. I've heard imapproxy doesn't help all that much with Dovecot. Do you (or anyone) have any actual statistics?
It does prevent spawning a separate IMAP process
Yes, but I think it's not all that much extra work.
I've never benchmarked it, but I do hate seeing it cycle through connect/auth/do nothing/disconnect because someone is clicking refresh as fast as they possibly can for some unknown reason.
and running it through AUTH (which executes an SQL call in my case)
Enabling auth cache would avoid it.
True, but there's a small risk someone could get locked out of their mail box for a short time, which isn't acceptable in my environment.
