cyrus idled not in the cyrus-imapd rpm?

[sophana at zizi.ath.cx (sophana)]

Ok thanks. I did bring the source with apt-get source cyrus-imapd
Then I rebuilt the rpmsource with
rpmbuild -ba --define='IDLED 1' --define='SEEN_DB skiplist' cyrus-imapd.spec

Now Idled works just fine. My emails now appear instantly.

But my question is:
Why idled is disabled by default? It seems to be working great.
Does anybody knows if there are drawbacks in using idled?

Thanks again
