That depends on what IMAP clients are used and all kinds of other
things. I don't want to waste time doing any benchmarks until after the
changes I'm doing now. Anyway for IMAP webmails Dovecot is most likely
many times faster than Courier. For "normal" IMAP clients it might not
be that much faster, although several people have told that using
Dovecot feels much faster than Courier/Cyrus.
