Sorry, I was unclear. Let me rephrase :

from my understanding of the doc, process_min_avail seems to have a slightly
different behavior depending of if service_count is 1 or 0. Is it correct ?

The doc states that process_min_avail in the case of service_count = 1 is used
to avoid latency and in the case of service_count = 0 to make sure not only the
one imap-login is used (if below the client_limit threshold).

Why would it make no sense to set (service_count=0) process_min_avail > number
of cpu ? Because there is no fork/exec of another imap-login latency ?

Besides, why would process_limit be reached since service_count=0 means that
this one imap-login process handles an unlimited number of connections ?

Thanks
