Hi Michael I have a site that uses the Bynari Outlook Insight connector that also has "speed" issues. As a general rule anything that uses the equivalent of the old CW mode is much slower than a direct IMAP connection. I have never actually checked on this but I get the impression that in direct IMAP mode the message is "pushed" from the server to client (a persistent connection) whereas anything CW mode is polled. The polling by default also checks more than just one folder for changes so thus will appear to take longer. You also find that Outlook will only grab the header in direct IMAP mode. Your "getting complete message" infers the whole thing is being copied from the server to the local store. Perhaps you can change the connector behaviour to initially only grab the header? Hope this helps Cheers Bob Michael Glad wrote: We run Cyrus 2.3.11 + Fastmail patches as of January 2 on a 64 bit RHEL 5.1 Opteron server. We have some 1000 users and up til 300 simultaneous imap processes. The system works nicely with MUAs like Thunderbird and various flavors of Outlook and shows no signs of any significant load. We do, however, have users using the Oracle Outlook connector who complain about bad performance. I've set up a testaccount with a 16k messages folder. Using Thunderbird, messages are shown w/o any noticeable delay when I click them. Using Outlook+outlook connector, the message 'getting complete message' are shown for at couple of seconds before the message is actually displayed. This may be what annoys the users. Are there other Cyrus sites out there with similar problems? -- Michael ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html |
