Whoa, wha happen!?

I just upgraded from beta8 to rc2, and dovecot has gone from being fast
and responsive to being nearly unusably slow and hanging Thunderbird
every few operations. (I made no configuration changes.)

I am running dovecot on a FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p2 server, and Thunderbird
1.5.0.4 (20060605) on client machines running both FreeBSD 6.1 and
Windows XP SP2.

I already set the maximum cached connections to 1 and restarted
Thunderbird; it didn't help. I still get a hang on copying to "Sent" files.
