Re-compiling does not remove already installed Mechanismsm. Mechanisms are
Files which are dynamially loaded on startup and used if they are present.

You can disable others than plain with "sasl_mech_list: plain" in your
imapd.conf.

But is this relly the reason?

Use imtest to Login to your IMAP-Server and look where the time is spend.

Look in the Logs for errors/warnings.
