Multi-thread cyrus delayed forking of imapd processes after connecting to master listener

[Scott Lambert]

I may be completely missing the point and I don't know your environment.
It looks like you may have designed in some delays if the server is
pretty busy, especially during restart.

maxforkrate will limit you to 100 forks per second.  That's quite a lot
but between bad guys and reconnects of clients after a restart, that may
be limiting.  I'm not sure I understand maxforkrate without a maxchild
limit.  That's probably a lack of imagination on my part.

Maybe it would be good to prefork a few instances of each service?
