I wondered this myself, as one of the main reasons i switched to
cyrus-imap was the woeful performance of uw-imap.
On UW-imap, mailboxes only 10meg in size took "a while" to open. Far
longer than they should. On Cyrus, there was no noticeable delay
between clicking on the message, and the message loading in the preview
pane.
Did you use mbx mailbox format with UW-IMAP? Did you try searching on the
server side? -pawel
