It could be that you both are running a different Kernel from the Standard Lenny Kernel 2.6.26..... (this could be a clue ..)
It would be interesting to hear from people that aren't seeing a big load increase. My initial guess was some kind of NFS problem, but since Ralf isn't doing NFS, that's probably not it.
Our CPUs are actually pretty much idle (these are 8 and 16 core machines). And memory is plentiful.
Cor, Ralf is running his Dovecot servers as VMware ESX guests. Are you running your servers in a VM environment, or on bare metal?
I'm guessing the common thread WRT this load problem is going to be relatively busy Dovecot servers running in virtual machine environments.
