I've been testing it with a single account with a folder of 13k emails (forwarded from a gmail account), and it runs considerably slower than gmail (at least showing the list of emails, or going to "next page" of emails, it can take up to 5 seconds or more).
The other folders (with about 1k emails max) are shown almost instantly, so i could guess RoundCube does not scale well with the number of emails per folder.
Please note that i've been using roundcube for only 2 days, so i may have missed something. But it's my experience nonetheless, so there you have :-)
Hi everyone,
I've searched the forum to find any solid info on performance
statistics, but was unable to find anything I can relate to. I work at a
university with about 30.000 students. Each student has an email
account. We currently use IMP v3 (Horde v2) as a webmail server on a
single server (dual Xeon based on P4, 1 GB memory). This server talks to
a single IMAP server (Cyrus) (dual Xeon based on P4, 4 GB memory). The
performance of this setup is awesome. The mailbox quota is currently set
to 25 MB. We plan to upgrade the students webmail server this summer to
a more redundant setup using Cyrus replication. The mailbox quota will
probably go up to 1 GB. We're also looking at upgrading the webmail
client (IMP) to something new. This might very well be the latest IMP,
but I've stumbled upon Roundcube a few months ago. I tried Roundcube on
my own server at home and I like it. Luckily it became stable a few
weeks ago. Before considering on putting roundcube in any form of
production service, I'd like to know if there are any performance
figures out in the field. Current measurements show us that there are at
least 500/600 active IMAP sessions at the peak moments on a single day.
Will Roundcube perform in an exceptable manner with those numbers, on a
single server (like we currently have)? We realize that with the
increase in quota, the number of mailboxes and it's contents will
increase. Will this affect the performance?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thnx.
Dennis
