In my Dovecot 2.2.32 I do not have such a problem.

Hello.
The problem with dovecot/config processes never ending and spawning new one on each reload (https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-November/106058.html) is becoming a problem here:
# ps aux|grep dovecot/config|wc -l 206
That's a lot of wasted memory - dovecot/config processes ate over 30GB of ram on 64GB box.
Before killing dovecot/config processes: # free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 64437 61656 483 0 2297
after:
# free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 64437 23676 37822 0 2939
Currently on dovecot 2.3.3. I guess it's very low priority to handle that, so: how can I figure out which dovecot/config processes are safe to be killed by external script?
Does "all beside 2 newest ones" rule look sane?
Thanks,
