I don't think there is much of a benefit anymore with v2.4, since the certificate and keys are accessed via mmap()ed binary config file. So although the cert/key are duplicated there, that happens only once per server, not once per process.
(Unrelated to thread author question)
Looks interesting - so now only one copy of config will be kept in memory (worst case) and that's shared among all dovecot processes, without exceptions ?
I wonder if 2.4 can now handle xy or xyz thousands of certs etc without killing the machine or require tons of resources?
(2.3 was not able to do that in sane way - https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-October/105855.html )
