Looks like most of the time (nearly 20 minutes) is being taken up by tls_prune cleaning up the tls_sessions.db:

You could use the tls_sessions_db_path imapd.conf(5) option to put this database onto faster storage?

If you have the RAM for it, you should be able to put tls_sessions.db on a tmpfs filesystem.  This database is only a cache, so nothing valuable will be lost if the machine is rebooted; and as a cache, it benefits from being on the fastest storage you have available. :)
