<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class=""><p class="">Hi Timo,</p><p class="">here you can see two images with the load average and CPU usage
with Dovecot 2.2 (Centos 6) and 2.3 (Centos 7) on the same
hardware and same configuration:</p><p class=""><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://imgur.com/a/1hsItlc">https://imgur.com/a/1hsItlc</a></p><p class="">Load average increment is relevant but CPU usage is similar.</p></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div></div>Load average changes can be rather difficult to debug if it's not because of any CPU usages or disk IO, and in your graphs those hadn't really changed. One more possibility could be to look at context switches, but do you have those from before the upgrade? (sar database?) Also since you changed CentOS 6 -> 7 it could be possible that it has nothing to do with Dovecot at all.<div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
