Yes, it's likely.  When using IMAP you may want to increase the value of 
$mail_check, which defaults to 5 seconds.

Also, if you aren't using the sidebar to display message counts, you may 
want to ensure $mail_check_stats is off.  If you need it turned on, 
check that $mail_check_stats_interval hasn't been set lower than the 
default of 60 seconds, and consider increasing it too.
