One difference is that in Dovecot 1.0-alpha all the logging goes through
master process, which requires one pipe per each user that's logged in.
For SSL users that's two pipes, one for imap and another for imap-login.

This will actually change in Dovecot 2.0 where there are separate log
processes.
