Note that imaptest mainly tests CPU usage, not disk I/O because most
of the files will stay in OS cache. The real world performance should
be better than what imaptest shows.

IMAP benchmarking is really hard to do well. :)

mmap_disable: yes

If indexes are local, there's no need to disable mmap.

mail_nfs_storage: yes

mail_nfs_storage=yes makes Dovecot slightly slower compared to v1.0
(but fixes problems with multiple NFS client machines).
