There's just a slight performance increase if you use dovecot's lda, if you don't dovecot indexes the mails on the next access.
I would categorize this and say "it depends". Without dovecot's LDA new mail will need to be indexed.
Depending on how much new mail is waiting since the lat time it was all indexed and the speed of the machine it can produce some noticeable results.
Consider an account dedicated for handling lists. You could have hundreds of new emails since the last time you checked. In such a I case I find that it made a very noticeable difference. Specially in my lowly home machine.
