Not sure what fam and gamin refer to, so a tentative 'no'? > List of enabled plugins Identical on both servers: 1. abook_take 2. administrator 3. bug_report 4. calendar 5. delete_move_next 6. filters 7. fortune 8. info 9. listcommands 10. mail_fetch 11. message_details 12. newmail 13. sent_subfolders 14. spamcop 15. squirrelspell 16. translate > filters used by end user None. > used session handler ??? > any setup difference which makes connection or file access or > session operations > remote on slow machine and local on fast machine. But the behavior is opposite. Fast on remote and slow on localhost; that is what is so puzzling. The only real difference I can find is that the 'fast' server is accessed via a root level url (http://sm.covisp.net/) instead of a subdirectory (http://akane.covisp.net/ssm/) but I can't think why this would make such a difference in speed. Is there anything in the php.ini that could be a problem? I looked through them and really didn't spot anything. The 'fast' server has the memory_limit se to 8M and the 'slow' one has it set to 16M, that's about it. Changing both to 16M did not help the speed (although changing the 'slow' one to 8M caused it to error out). In the configtest.php the fast server reports "mbstring - Mbstring functions are unavailable. Japanese translation won't work." and otherwise the configtests are identical Also, just to be clear, the difference in speed is DEFINITELY related to the number of messages in some way. Logging into an account with a dozen messages in the Inbox does not incur a delay on either server. -- One by one the bulbs burned out, like long lives come to their expected ends. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
