Sorry for waiting so long,
original imapsync-1.140 needed 40 min for 5x 100MB mail
patched imapsync-1.121 needed 35 min for 5x 100MB mail
mailutil needed 13 min for 10x 100MB mail
imapsync is consuming much more CPU Time and needs much more memory so
that you cant run more than 5 instances parallel.
i think mailutil is faster and needs less memory because it is written in C
imapsync is more options to rename and change folder names, so if you
don't need the sped of mailutil, imapsync is still a good choice.
