With 10k users, how much disk space and how many peak simultaneous imap connections does 10k users represent on your system? It's just that I imagine the number of actual users on a system isn't the pure bottleneck per-se, it's really some relationship between number-of-users (more users means more email deliveries) and number-of-users*percent-that-are-connected (more users that connect more often means more imapd processes).
