Zitat von Tornoci Laszlo <[email protected]>:

Hi,

I have a Horde/IMP system that behaves strangely since I upgraded from 3.1.5/4.1.5 to 3.3.4/4.3.4. I have about 400 users with 50-70 concurrent sessions usually. The IMAP mailstore (Cyrus) and the MTA are on separate boxes. The system is dual Xeon (quad core) 2GHz, 2GB RAM.

We had excellent response times before the upgrade. The problem is, we still have excellent response times (practically instantaneous mailbox lists with > 3000 mails in one folder) most of the time, BUT sometimes for long periods of time, I get miserable response times (30-80 sec waiting) for the same large mailbox to be listed. "top" show the http process to shoot up to 100% cpu while waiting, but nothing else remarkable. Restarting http or mysqld doesn't help. Logging in is not slow. The larger a mailbox, the worse the problem is.
After some time, response times get back to normal.

It *may* be Horde Alarms. As far as i remember there was a problem with the way Horde Alarms uses the Database in some configurations but i can't remember for sure. This could explain why you see it only occasionally. Another point to check is if you are using a PHP accelerator which do maintenance at the slow times.

Thanks for the tip, I've disabled the alarms, I'll see if it makes any difference. I don't use any PHP accelerators (by the way: are there any reliable ones that are free?)

You may also want to look at the discussion on the horde list. In short: sorting by anything other than arrival time on large mailboxes, if using an IMAP server that doesn't cache message data, will kill your server. So either upgrade your IMAP server or lock sort on arrival time (or set the pref to lock sorting to arrival time when a certain number of messages are reached).
