I set up a second frontend to analyze a single client.  Strace shows the 
dumb:

read(0, "00000002 LIST \"\" INBOX.*\r\n", 4096) = 26
read(0, "00000003 LIST \"\" user.*\r\n", 4096) = 25
read(0, "00000004 LIST \"\" *\r\n", 4096) = 20

I tested fullstupidclients on the production frontend and it has cut 
load significantly but that LIST "" user.* call is expensive (0.950 secs 
1 calls).  I assume that's to poll for shared folders and I'm going to 
look into whether or not it can be eliminated.  I don't suppose there's 
another fullstupidclients that improves responsiveness on this call, is 
there?
