People are confusing persistent connections with IMAP IDLE. They are not the same thing. IMAP IDLE is probably useless for a client like roundcube. It is meant to push mailbox events to the mail clients (like new email has arrived). But roundcube does way more than just mailbox events on almost every single click. It gets mailbox lists, headers, etc etc. Persistent IMAP server connections is a different story. In some situations that could help. But it's also not trivial to set up. You could look at using an imap proxy to emulate persistent connections. I believe Timo (dovecot's author) once showed that dovecot is faster than using a proxy, so don't even bother with a proxy when using dovecot.
