Testbed for a little casual comparison:

PIII-600
256 MB RAM
384 MB swapfile
16 MB controller cache
RAID 1, 2 x 18 GB 10K U160 HD
IMail 7.15

(Note that this box is not a purpose-built mail server.)

For  an account with two 135 MB mailboxes (1000 messages each) and two
62 MB mailboxes (500 messages each)...

Time  to  load  standard templates from the console, machine otherwise
idle: ~2 seconds.

Per-message display: ~2 seconds.

...so,  Roger,  while  slow  performance  for  2  GB  mailboxes may be
expected  by  some,  debated  by  others, the numbers *you* are seeing
simply  are  so  crazy  as  to  be  well outside of the realm of "code
problems"  in  IWEBMSG.  What  I think you need to measure is not only
performance when the machine is dedicated to testing a single account,
but also how your performance curve looks as users and overall service
usage  increases. If you can post a test script that can be easily run
on  our own boxes, I'm sure somebody/ies will step up to post detailed
findings for comparison.
