Is there anything I can do to improve the performance of roundcube webmail? Users have complained it’s very slow.
HTML and PHP seem to be quick on their own. 
I have optimised max clients, Maxservers, etc Anything else?
Apache performance is VERY poor.
Any suggestions? What settings do you suggest for maxclients, maxspareservers etc
For a heavy use server, with Dual core processor, 3Gb memory.
Regards,
Gareth
Performance of my whole webserver is slowww?

I had to disable apic because the clock would run slow otherwise.
This means my dual core Opteron is a waste of money… so how can I use my dual core and yet have the clock not running at a second a hour(yes that slow)?
What is the server’s job? (how many websites/types of sites/traffic/users/etc.) Has it just gotten slow from roundcube?? I was thinking of installing this soon on my server.
No it seems to be a general performance issue.
The server is basically running around 5-6 heavy traffic websites and about 20 not-heavy sites.
Mysql appears to be eating CPU, and since I disabled APIC so the clock works in VMWARE it appears more of a problem.
I must be getting memory leaks now and again too, as a whole 3G is being used and it starts to kill apache, etc.
It appears it is MYSQL causing a lot of problems, high CPU and slow access time for MYSQL process?
Have you tried any MySQL optimizations? Any success?
A lot of the issues were caused by VMWARE DUAL CORE support. Solved that.
However Roundcube is now the only slow application.
I have optimised the buffers, memory params, etc
How do you have Roundcube installed? It looks to me like it has to be installed to a specific domain name?
I just got Roundcube installed tonight… it’s working nice and fast on the server. Is it the whole application in general that is slow for you or is it the connections to imap and smtp?
I am with (cpanel) shared hosting and I recently installed RoundCube (0.1 rc1) and I am satisfied with it.
Slow means how much? It just takes a few seconds for it to load and show the mail, that may be due to server being a shared one, else I guess it would be even faster.
So, my guess is the problem shouldn’t be with RoundCube.
Have you tried increasing the memory limit in the virtual host where roundcube is installed to something like 32M or 64M??
