#1 - You can't compare IMP 3 and IMP 4 - IMP 4 is doing vastly more  
stuff than IMP 3, so there's going to be some level of extra IMP  
traffic.
#2 - You are almost certainly not using caching.  If you care about  
performance at all, you need to be caching IMAP data.
#3 - As for the terribleness of the IMAP commands actually sent to the  
server - this has nothing to do with the Horde project.  We use the  
c-client IMAP library - it is what is sending the commands to the  
server.  I won't even begin to describe the inefficiencies of the IMAP  
commands it sends.  This is why an entirely new IMAP library has been  
written for IMP 5.
