Try yourself with imaptest (http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest): imaptest - select=0 clients=<try different values> It'll authenticate the same user, but as long as you don't enable auth cache it'll still do the LDAP lookups and you can get a pretty good idea of the performance. My guess is that the performance bottleneck won't be authentication binds, as long as the latency between Dovecot and LDAP server is small.
