	I would not blame the software so quickly.  We run imap-uw on very
	heavily loaded boxes and rarely see problems with it.  Sure it's
	not the fastest but minutes of wait?  No.  I would suggest looking
	at:

	1) DNS issues (resolution issues)
	2) If it's login related checking into PAM issues (DB issues)
	3) Check network problems (Duplex mismatch? Congestion?)
	4) Check hardware problems (Disk especially)
