dovecot - Jun 2006 - pop-3 login delay

We are running Dovecot 1.0.beta9 w/ mysql authentication.  Mail  
storage is a Network Appliance F810 filer and we are using maildir.

The only issue that we have run into is that pop3 logins take much  
longer than imap logins within dovecott and many times longer than a  
similar connection with courier-imap.  For example, dovecot IMAP and  
courier-imap POP3 and IMAP logins take less than 1/2 second to  
complete the login.  dovecot POP3 takes 2-3 seconds.

I have disabled MMAP and am using fcntl.

I searched the last few months of the archive, and being new here,  
didn't know if this had been discussed before or not.

Thanks,

I found the configration issue that was causing this problem.  My user  
meta data is stored in a mysql db, and the delay that we were seeing  
was caused by a pam lookup that was not disabled.
