I hope there will soon be a plain delivering tool for dovecot 1.x. I could use it right away as the delivering step with procmail, which would run it under recipient's uid and context (all recipients are real unix users in my case).
I'll try to get it done soon.
Without a local delivery agent, dovecot will always seem slower than its rivals when opening INBOXes with new mails, especially large ones, because of index creation delays.
So you're using mboxes? If nothing else than Dovecot is modifying mboxes (adding mail is fine), you could use:
mbox_very_dirty_syncs = yes
Then the mbox is re-read only when absolutely necessary (something else has modified the mbox and mails aren't where they're expected). I've been using it for a few months (or whenever it was I added that feature), works fine.
