RE: [Phpgroupware-users] Howto optimize phpgw for speed

[Chris Weiss]

The biggest part of this is that IMAP itself is inherently slow.  Netscape and
O'look keep a very aggressive cache which help them appear much faster because 
you
only downlaod a message once.  In php it's much harder to keep such a cache, 
but I
understand Angles is at the very least thinking about the different option to
decide how to implement it.

Make sure your web server's ip can be resolved fast by adding it to the hosts 
file
on teh imap server.  Consider running the IMAP server as a daemon instead of
through xINETD, this will improve responce times.  Install the latest from
anglemail.org and use the setup app to install it's new db table for caching.  
On
my little Celeron 300 i've brought my responce times down to under 4 seconds for
most emails, a faster server should do much better.

You can also enable the DEBUG_TIMER in header.inc.php to get a fairly accurate 
"php
processing time" displayed at the bottom of ever page.
