I'm curious to know what kind of performance other people are seeing with their SquirrelMail installation, and whether what I'm seeing is normal.
I've got an 850 P3, 512 RAM and a pair of SCSI drives using Courier IMAP and Squirrel Mail 1.2.10 all going over 128bit SSL. Now, for 1 user (me) with a mailbox of 20 or so messages, some with attachments, I can singlehandedly make the load average go from 0.07 to 1.25. Watching 'top's output, no single process ever uses more than 3% CPU, and in total idle CPU is always above 90%. So, the load average of 1.25 seems a bit odd. What I think is causing this is a Courier IMAP instance being fired up for every page load. Running 'netstat' shows a large number of: tcp 0 0 ardvark.upnix.ne.imap ardvark.upnix.ne.45883 TIME_WAIT During this whole time however, page loads are immediate regardless of load average. So, knowing that lots of users have folders with over 1000 messages in them (WAY more than me), I'm a little concerned about what this does to my overall capacity. Is this a "problem", or something that's to be expected with webmail over SSL? Anyone else notice a large spike in their load average when there's a couple of people clicking away in Squirrel mail? Could this be "fixed" with a different IMAP server? Anyone?
