Imapd - more processes than maxchild

Hi !

I'm trying to fix an environment which has been growing without proper
attention.

There are about 7000 inboxes but only 5000 are active and the maxchilds
parameter is set as "2000" causing a lot of timeouts when the clients try
to connect. I thought as a first approach trying to increase this parameter.

I have noticed that even with the "maxchilds" parameter set as "2000" there
are about 2020 processes open, is this behaviour normal?  The version in
use is 2.4.12.
