Were you using mbox or maildir? I'm not sure what version you were
testing or what your methods were, but dovecot's indexes are what make
it so fast, and courier-imap doesn't use indexes.

I'm telling you, properly configured, dovecot will blow courier out of
the water, and then some, especially on servers with high loads, and
especially for those with large mail stores.

Again, properly configured - they will sing your praises.

I use postfixadmin, but dovecot's wiki is pretty good, and Timo is
really quick to update it when it needs it. There are some MySQL HowTos
here:
