Re: Cyrus tweaks (slow on roundcube)

Hello
This is difficult to diagnose, if not looking at the pool size. 
No error is logged, it is only "slow" or even suffering hiccups on extreme loads
and or under specified  cpu.

"Every time a process is started, or allocates memory, it will reduce the
entropy pool because entropy is used to randomize the placement of that memory."

Maybe others have better suggestions.
