Interesting!  So, this tells me that the RTT, at leasst for the smaller
requests, is not so bad in terms of performance.  But maybe you're
bandwith-limited, or TCP is taking it's time getting out of slow start?

I noticed this is where you get some real wins:

% imaptest -timestamp -user nobody -host cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu -sasl -saslmech 
anonymous sasl +archive.cyrus-sasl 'UID SEARCH FROM "Ken Hornstein"' -snoop
[...]
=> A3 UID SEARCH FROM "Ken Hornstein"
<= * SEARCH 269 270 274 275 281 282 283 285 315 319 329 414 435 439 456 458 500

That would be a huge win across the pond.

A better question is ... do you consider a "scan 1-10426" taking 10 seconds
reasonable?
