i think you are running the squatter to often.

period=180 will run it every 3h. If there is more then one sqatter running,
it second will catch up and the proceses will have to wait for the mailbox
lock.

We run our squatter, expire and backup once each night, when there is less
IO traffic.

you can use at= instead of period=. See cyrus.conf manpage for details
