I came across this email on cyrus-imap list thought I would share for
preformance fix on it.
===================================================================
Problem solved!
"sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0" solves problem for IMAP and also
Postfix, so mainly fsync() was no issue. I had no time to searh why this
so drastically affects performance, but maybe somebody will know the
answer.

Par: slow IMAP data transfer
Hello
I'm trying to set up Cyrus IMAP on freebsd 6.0, but i have problems with
performance of it. There is a big issue with message writing to IMAP
folders and also with reading a large quantities of messages. Reading of
8MB message takes a bit less than a second, but in that time 8MB message
write to IMAP folder over 100Mbit/s connection takes ~6 seconds longer.
Also, as I am only one by now who uses this server there could be no
chance of big resouce utilization.
Reading/writing ~650 messages, each 1KB) from/to imap folder sends huge
amounts of data to RAID 1 arrays. It can be seen using an iostat in that
process.
Hardware (2x 3GHx Xeon, 2GB RAM, Adaptec 2410SA,
2x WD RAPTOR 74GB (aacd0)(system), 2x SEAGATE 300GB (aacd1)(mail
storage))
Before that I was setting up Cyrus IMAP mail servers on Linux and there
was no such problems. Maybe it's OS issue? I also have set up such
system on Celeron 800MHz, 256MB RAM and 80GB SEAGATE (FreeBSD 4.11), the
results are aproximately the same.
For SMTP i'm using Postfix, and it also shows bad results on data
transfer. Seems that the biggest problems I have with mail software,
because other services like FTP doesn't show such bad results.
