This is sounding similar to the problem I have with my setup:

1. High CPU usage.

2. Can't kill IMAP.

kill -9 doesn't work for imap processes? You didn't mention this before.

I'm using CentOS 5.2 64-bit version with the latest cPanel.

So what am I missing, other than the problem nobody else is having is
clearly something they ARE having?

If you can't kill -9 a process, it means the kernel is buggy. At least 2.6.27 was buggy and it was fixed in 2.6.27.10.
