if you are CPU bound because TLS and a robot you have
other problems like too slow hardware, these days and
with intel AES-NI it costs zero

jesus christ put it in your <Directory /usr/share/roundcubemail/>
don't get me wrong but it should be pretty clear for anybody
that <Directory "roundcube-dir"> is a example for mod_php basics

> What do you use for force_https and use_https?

some lines of code in any php-file like configuration-includes
which is always loaded, make sure it is included BEFORE any
output starts because http-headers can not be pushed after
output of http-body started

if(PHP_SAPI != 'cli' && empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']))
{
 header($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'] . ' 301 Moved Permanently', true, 301);
 exit(header('Location: https://yourhostname/your-install-dir/', true, 301));
}
