You realise that Cambridge University uses cyrus successfully for 30,000+
users? Have a look at:

and see if you can get some ideas on optimising your system and/or
clustering.
I have used courier-imap with a lot of success; but then again 99%+ of our
users were using it for POP3, not IMAP. With courier-imap you also buying
into a one-man project, and coming from Exim you'll miss excellent
documentation, comments in the source code, and a helpful community. But the
POP3 server at least is solid in operation.
