The debug log shows that the connection and execution of all those 
commands took place in about 1-2 seconds (19:53:31 - 19:53:32).

Here is a summary of the commands the client issued:

1-2 seconds for all those commands is pretty damn fast.  I don't know if 
that generates much disk I/O, but there must be at least a few I/Os 
required to do that.

I'm with you - the place to optimize this is in Kolab, possibly with in 
conjuction with an imapproxy.
