The benefit is sieve, which provides server side filtering. With the use 
of multiple (imap) mail clients (phones, tablets, etc), having the 
server do the filtering/filing of messages makes good sense. I don't 
think having the messages pass through vpopmail as well as deliver would 
impact performance all that much. If that's what it takes, to me I 
expect it'd be worth it.
