Pfft! The way most people code, 6-8 seconds is nothing for a web front-end. Gaurang, what are page-load times, and response times to the presumable POST from the front-end? You can measure with a Firefox plugin, YSlow, if you are not already aware of this. > Worst case scenario, make your application send mail asynchronously. > Depending on language and package, you could use a new thread, a new > process or perhaps just a flag to the mail library. Should normally not be needed, as all the webapp has to do is to hand off to sendmail/postfix. However, this might be a problem if the webapp is sending <shudder>HTML mail</shudder>, and is taking time to render this abomination.
