Hi there,
as I recall you are using OL2010 in an enterprise environment? In many cases home directories etc. are residing then on network shares. And that’s where .pst files and .ost files most probably are being written, too. When profiles are being configured writing incoming mails to .pst files (so you have a "local" copy), you will run in a situation, MS does not support/recommend, as this slows down (yes, confirmed) the client and may have negative side effects to others on that share:

Yeah the disk is relatively empty:
# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 7.7G 5.2G 1.9G 74% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev ZPOOL_1 9.8G 1.1G 8.7G 11% /mail
The PST's seem to be stored on local hard disk too.
It seems that there was an issue with Send/Recieve settings that my manager has made me aware of, basically turn off the Auto Send/Recieve and it seems to marginally improve performance??
Well thanks to all and I guess we'll keep testing ;-)
Dovecot rocks, it's just a pitty that there is so much poorly programmed corporate software out there!
