[Dovecot] 1.0(.14) vs 1.1.2 performance

Hello Timo,

I just switched from dovecot-1.0.14 to dovecot-1.1.2 and noticed a significant drop in the server load average (which has become lower and above all doesn't seem to have unexplained peaks). Indexes are still locally stored and nfs attribute caching is still off).

I searched the list archives for an explanation of what changed in the code that could explain such an improvement but mostly (except maybe some index code rewrite mentions) found differences in features.

Where does that performance gap come from ?
