That imap process' memory usage will grow and shrink over time, but I 
observed (on my small single-user box) imap processes consuming several 
dozend MB virtual memory sitting around for extended periods of time...

No idea if dovecot can somehow be taught to free it up again as soon as 
possible or if it does not seem to be needed at the moment any more...
