Andrzej Rusin commented on IMAP-371:
------------------------------------

Hi Eric,

I investigated it more. Looks like this approach probably won't be enough, 
because the clients seem to periodically call SELECT on all known folders to 
check for messages/changes. And when there is many clients, they still would 
load the Mailbox huge amount of times, and get some of its metadata too.

I have another idea of a more heavy-handed approach, which I will discuss in 
separate issue.

> MailboxManager::getMailbox(MailboxPath mailboxPath, MailboxSession session) 
> is getting called extremely often. 
> On my custom RDBMS-based Mailstore implementation it is the biggest hot spot.
> I had to resort to caching the return value of it on Memcache, but even after 
> that it uses up around 15% of spent CPU time. It is far too much in my 
> opinion.  (before I started caching it, fully indexed RDBMS getting of the 
> mailbox was taking more than 50% of the global RDBMS load).
> My suspect is the method AbstractMailboxProcessor::addFlagsResponses(final 
> ImapSession session, final SelectedMailbox selected, final 
> ImapProcessor.Responder responder, boolean useUid).
> It gets the mailbox from MessageManager each time, even if it may be not 
> needed. 
> This method is called in many CommandProcessors during the 
> unsolicitedResponses phase.
> After I am able to really profile and confirm that it's the core of problem, 
> I will provide a patch.
