Is problem with CPU load solved? I have same problem - dovecot-auth eats one of my cores. I'm using dovecot 1.0.7 on Solaris 10 Sparc. I tried to use auth-bind and standard scheme with separate user for bind and have same result. Problem occupts only with LDAP authentication, on some other systems I use PostgreQSL and MySQL authentication and doesn't have this problem. Using PAM authentication is not possible, because dovecot run in chroot'ed environment and I planing to move it to separate system or zone without ldap client.
