We run qpopper 3.0.2 on an AIX unix box. As most users choose
to keep mails on server, hence it becomes quite slow when plenty
users are reading their mail at the same time (though i've
placed the .pop files directory separate from their /var/spool/mail
mailboxes).
Now since the newest version of AIX OS has this feature of
using part of the RAM as disk (using a command called mkramdisk)
, i wonder will it improve things much ( i did a simple test
on a test machine for 1 mailbox, but the difference is not significant)
for qpopper. Could it be that the reading of the mail from /var/spool/mail
to create the .pop files is also the bottleneck.
Any comments?
