It is faster and simpler, but it doesn't use less memory AFAIK.
Courier-IMAP is written in C and bases its memory allocations on malloc().
It also caches nothing, which is a reason for why its performance is not
so good always. Binc IMAP uses C++, which has slightly more memory
overhead, and the STL, which never frees memory. It also caches things to
improve performance a tad.
But all in all, modern machines have way more memory than Binc needs.

Yes, it's the default setup. No need to configure anything.

qmail-ldap, or rather checkpassword-ldap, should work perfectly fine with
Binc IMAP. Simply replace the checkpassword program in the run files.

Try installing it, make sure it uses checkpassword-ldap, and see if it
works :-).
