Currently 74 imap processes, 336 imap-login processes.

I tried switching to high-performance mode yesterday.. It seemed to end up 
with sort of the same results, though harder to diagnose. Each process I 
guess ended up hitting the login_process_size = 64 max and then stopped 
responding. So imap would work for some people and not others. I'd rather 
have it be broken for all or none, so I switched it back instead of 
tweaking the performance options. I think there's something in our 
environment causing this but I have no idea what..
