we're waiting it, since I'd like to merge all of our mail server. but
it's about 400 mailbox. and two week ago we have to restore all mailbox
from the backup which cause that dovecot has to reindex all mailbox.
which result a load 10-15 on a dual xeon. so I assume it's again the IO
load. we have to manualy stop and start dovecot for about 3 hours to be
able to manage the load...
