dovecot - Dec 2006 - Sizing login_process_size and login_processes_count?

Any suggestions on sizing login_process_size and login_processes_count for a 
server expected to be doing 100 to 200 simultaneous connections?

Is there a way to separate login_processes_count between imap and pop? I 
would like to have at least 50 imap processes ready, but we rarely have any 
more than 5 to 10 pop connections. Would be a shame to have 40+ pop 
login processes doing nothing most of the time.  

For now did login_process_size = 96, but with an average of 100 to 200 and 
some rare ocassion of 300+ connections I am wondering what is a reasonable 
number for login_process_size.

login_processes_count and login_max_processes_count can both
be placed into the 'protocol pop3 {}' and 'protocol imap {}'
sections of dovecot.conf

Are you using SSL? It all depends on how much memory each OpenSSL
connection takes, Dovecot itself doesn't take more than maybe 20k max.
I've no idea about OpenSSL's memory usage.
