Apparently I'm still missing something...

Sure, you may be keeping your performance at pre-dovecot levels - but
why on earth would that even be a goal?

One of the main reasons I switched from Courier to Dovecot a very long
time ago was for the expected performance boost from the use of the
indexes, which were automatically updated at delivery time (if you used
the LDA), and the boost was huge, I was extremely pleased with the results.

There is no 'fiddling', it just works.
