Well, neither IMP nor PPTP run by default. :-) But I see what you mean.

Well, IMP has always been a resource hog, and that's no secret from us
or from the IMP folks; the downside of IMP being scalable to, say, a
whole university is that it's not so great on legacy hardware.
But the manual explicitly notes that the Category 1 hardware
description (over 90MHz/64MB RAM, below 400MHz/256MB RAM) shouldn't be
used for webmail. That's been the case since at least 5.0, and IMP 2.0
wasn't always server-friendly either.
The manual also notes that a Category 1 server will only handle
"minimal use of Remote Access". Unfortunately, encryption takes CPU --
there's really no way to avoid that, and the PPTP tunnel encrypts
every byte that moves over it.
Cheers,
