On a modern system, I can't imagine there's terribly much difference at all. PAM would probably be quicker since it's generally all contained within one system however LDAP is written for read performance. It is meant to be extremely fast for authentication even across the network. Also, the LDAP or PAM login at the start is only a very minor part of the overall performance of Courier-IMAP. Your filesystems r/w performance is much more important. In short, performance really shouldn't be a large factor in your decision. The more important things to look at are reliability, scalability, flexibility, etc. Do your users need shell access? Do you have other systems that could authenticate to the same user database?
