hmmm...
expunge 1 is interesting - I finally resorted to doing 25 at a time. 

This is my .fetchmailrc

defaults
set daemon 180
set postmaster craig
set nospambounce
set nobouncemail
set logfile /home/craig/fetchmail.log
poll MY_ISPs_MAIL_SERVER
        proto imap
        localdomains azapple.com
        user "MY_ACCOUNT"
        pass "MY_PASSWORD"
        batchlimit 25

it's been working for a few years. The problem was of course spamass-
milter which has now been solved.

During my switchover from uw-imap to cyrus-imapd (which included
migrating all my mail from mbox and 're-creating' my procmail rules into
sieve filters) I was 'dark' for about 1 day and there were 1377 emails
waiting for me when I felt comfortable enough to resume 'fetching' - I
wonder whether 'expunge 1' or 'batchlimit 25' is more efficient.
