Dear Imp users and developers,

my problem is as follows:
- Login to Horde takes 3 seconds.
- Loading mails takes 7 seconds for a larger IMAP folder, and 1-2 seconds for one with only a few messages in it.
- Top shows 97% CPU from php5-fpm, 3% from imap.

That means that performance problems are probably in php. Do you use an php opcode cache / accelerator? If so, which one?

XCache 2.0.0


- When messages are cached, everything gets super fast.
- The loading times are probably proportional to the amount of message headers Imp loads for viewing.

My questions are:
- Is this normal speed?

It depends. How large is a large IMAP folder? How many folders do you have?

I think that Imp caches something a few dozen messages around the currently displayed ones. So the IMAP folder size is not important, just that there are more than a few: For example, an inbox with 10 messages is loaded in a second, a view of a folder with 900 messages
takes 6-8 seconds, and also 6-8 seconds for a folder with 20000 messages.


- If not, how would I systematically search for the problem?
- I tried xhprof, but I can't get the part where Imp refreshes messages captured.

My config:
- Debian Wheezy, Apache, php5-fpm, Dovecot, imapproxy

Without version numbers, there is no way for us to tell what you're actually using.

Kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64, Apache 2.2.22, PHP 5.4.39-0+deb7u1, Zend 2.4.0, XCache 2.0.0, Dovecot 2.1.7


- Auth using Imp using MySQL/PDO connection via sockets
- Dovecot using Maildir, PAM disabled, mysql auth only
- Horde caching enabled

Which cache backend?

- everything on one host

If everything is on the same host, imapproxy is redundant an may even hurt performance if you have a modern IMAP server like Dovecot.

Ok, disconnected and purged it, no visible difference.


- standard rented server

I wonder what the specifications of a 'standard rented server' are. :-)

AMD Opteron 6272, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD - not high end, but not stone-age either, I think


- everything up-to-date

What may be up-to-date on Debian Wheezy may still be seriously out-of-date.

I know, but no testing builds for me anymore...

I did a performance test using http://www.php-benchmark-script.com/bench.php, which resulted in ~7 seconds for my server, same time as the test on the benchmarks webpage.

The only thing I could find which could be related to this is the Horde-specific message: FastCGI: server "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi" stderr: PHP message: Cannot write Autoloader cache to backend. I tried setting proper path permissions, but no success, the error doesn't go away.


I managed to get the folder view loading time down to four seconds for a larger IMAP folder (>1k files) like "sent" or "archive". Could anyone tell me how long it takes to display a folder on their server? I don't have access to a second horde installation.

My 12,000 message Trash folder takes around ~2 seconds to load the initial view.

Understand that this kind of operation (message list) is almost certainly a bottleneck at the IMAP level, rather than the PHP level. Your performance is going to be pretty bad on large mailboxes unless using a caching IMAP server or caching on the Horde side (or both).
