I've been studying dovecot for replacing my company's current system

I was surprised that dovecot doesn't use prefork for its mail
processes, forking a new processes for each new client connection.
Login processes are preforked and they can also be configured to
keep reusing existing processes. But yes, post-login imap/pop3
processes aren't preforked because it would require a larger
redesign of the master process. Which is actually what I have been
planning on doing for v2.0 for a long time now.
Do you have pointer(s) to some mails / wiki pages talking about your
ideas of implementation of pre-forked process pool?
