Hi to ALL!
I have dovecot-1.0r7 installed on FreeBSD 6.1, using kqueue and Maildir (<20 mailboxes, < 0,5 Gb size). Periodically CPU load of imap processes increasing up to 60-80%. Is it normall behavior or not? May be somebody had such kind of problems?
I have also experienced this behavior, which is quite bothersome because I sold my supervisor on Dovecot by talking about performance and low resource requirements...
What if you get some output from ktrace/kdump? Additionally, try to force the process to save a coredump and investigate its .core with gdb would help tracking down the issue...
Note that because when using kqueue the process should get a "kqread" if it is waiting for kqueue event. If the process is stuck in "RUN" state then a coredump would be more helpful.
