I'm testing the rpm build on RedHat 6.2, 7.2, 7.3, 9 and FC1 and FC2. I'm running production servers on RedHat 6.2, 7.2, 7.3, 9 and FC1. I'm running the servers on everything from small cheapy hardware with IDE softraid on ext3 and XFS up to quite big irons with 8Gb of memory and lots of SCSI and FC storage. Finally, I have never seen a performance problem like the one you describe. I suggest you run cyrus-imapd with strace -f -tt /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master ot ltrace -f -tt /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master and try to find out what and where it's going slow.
