How big of a disk cache?

Can you try -memcache to eliminate the disk cache as the problem?  (Of
course, memcache might cause different problems...)

Also, what POP/IMAP server software are you running?  Are you keeping
mail stored in AFS?  I'd like to do the same and I can get a machine up
with a similar config and see if I can replicate this problem.

Not sure if it matters, but do you have fs setcrypt on for this server
or is encryption turned off?

And, I assume that knowing what the hardware is will help further
isolate the problem.
