I'm quite happy with Courier-IMAP. I've recently switched to it from UW-imapd for my home network. IMAP performance didn't improve, however (I didn't measure, but I can't feel any subjective improvement). I've got 100 MBit ethernet, btw. Reading the ~5000 emails from my mutt-user folder takes approx. 18 seconds. That's really slow, IMNSHO. I think the only thing that would really help would be to install a *local* IMAP cache of some sort. But I don't know if such a beast even exists.
