[Dovecot] Moving email from a folder to another using IMAP isvery slow (sometimes)

[Stefano Scalise]

Hi to all,

very strange! I tried to debug why imap process takes 100% CPu and it is 
very slow when I move an email from an imap folder to another imap folder 
and then I typed:

strace -tt -o /log-imap.txt -p <process number>

well, during the trace the imap process doesn't crash and it is very fast. 
If I stop the tracing, I have again the problem and sometimes the crash of 
the process.

Any help?
Thank you,
Stefano.
