Are you seeing long term processes, or long term connections?

How long processes stick around would be influenced by your
configured 'poptimeout' in /etc/imapd.conf, and what, if any, '-U' count
you have configured for your pop3 processes within /etc/cyrus.conf (see the
imapd.conf, and pop3d manpages).

It would be usual to see long term pop3 connections. If that's what
you're seeing, what version of cyrus are you running, and do you have any
front ends (murder/proxies) or an unusual setup?
