Just out of curiosity, Tanner,  is that a two-way or three way comparison?

I did a migration some time ago from UW-IMAP to Dovecot, primarily for
performance reasons.  I'm storing the mail in maildir format (as
opposed to mbox when I was running UW), using a virtual mailbox format
(not in homedirs).

I cyrus better than dovecot?  If so how.  Not that my home setup is
stressing things very much.
