I use Postfix + Dovecot + MySql + Sieve + ManageSieve + RoundCube. I tried to connect to my server from both LAN connection and from Internet Connection. Both are slow when using RoundCube. The speed is acceptable with SquirrelMail. (now both RC and SM are working together)
In my opinion, it seems that my server need to be upgrade.
Another information is my server:
- Chip AMD Opteron Processor 246/ 2GHz (x2)
- RAM 1GB Bus 400MHz (512MB x 2)
- HDD 160GB
- Gigabits Network Connection
What is your concurrent user load when you are performing your testing? If there are no other, or few, users connected, then the problem is most definitely _not_ your hardware, but something in your server software stack, or, your client. You never did respond with the client information I requested. You also never responded with what web server you're using.
If you're already convinced the problem is slow hardware, then buy a new server and then tell us if that fixed your problem. It seems you are not open to any suggestions being posted here but are merely looking for someone to agree with your predisposition that it's a hardware problem.
If you're simply looking for a hardware recommendation, I'd be glad to provide one. Look at my email address. ;) Do you purchase pre-built servers, or do you built your own? I assume the former, as if you were in the latter category, you probably wouldn't be asking for opinions.
