[Dovecot] NFS - inotify vs kqueue

Hi,

I've seen some chatter on NFS boards about kqueue being more reliable 
than inotify when used in NFSv3 and NFSv2. The chatter is a bit old so I 
don't know if it is true anymore.

Anyone have pro/con experience with dovecot on the inotify/kqueue 
question when using NFS storage?

I realize that kqueue is probably a bit slower and causes some delay 
with IDLE. Also, it may not really make any difference which is why I 
ask the question.
