No, well, its my apache on a different computer than Cyrus which has the heavy load, not the Cyrus sever itself. The Cyrus server takes very low CP time. But my Cyrus Server doesn't work as expected. I run it in a XEN environment, XEN Vers. 2 which has no glibc and things like indexing the database doesn't work at all. I am going to upgrade to XEN Vers. 3 in a few weeks and hope I have a fully functional Cyrus. But when the Cyrus server does no indexing and (thats what I guess) doesn't sort the mails then Squirrelmail on the apache does the sorting? Could that be the reason for Apache's heavy CPU usage? Besides, can I use othr criteria than the date of the mails like number of mails in the Mailbox?
