Can anything be done to speed up Roundcube on a Celeron 700 with 512MB RAM (maxed out) running Gentoo Linux? We're using the Chrome browser and the CPU is 95% idle when no one is logged into X. I'm getting reports of 30+ seconds to open an email.
no - you should be happy that it runs at all on hardware outperfored by years old smartphones
What are the Roundcube recommended minimum specs?
i don't know
but a 700 MHz/512 MB machine is far below the minimum specs of any modern operating system at all - hence you even get not a Fedora/Ubuntu installer started full featured on it
I don't mean to call you foolish but I think that's a foolish statement. I use Gentoo which is a modern OS and the system in question surpasses the published hardware requirements for Gentoo on x86:

my first mailserver was buildt from 2 1440 floppy disks, it just had 256M memory and 2 20G maxtor harddisks, one for datastorage, and the other for freebsd 4.9, it was totaly stable at time, but i dropped freebsd in fav of gentoo self here, just sad to see no floppy disks install for gentoo :)
my current is here still under 2G ram here, but it performs very well with gentoo and kernel 3.10.1 btw, i have removed most from kernel not needed to save ram, and i have disabled ipv6 until i have got more ram, it worked both with he.net and sixxs tunnels, just disided to use ram for more usefull things like google safebrowsing clamav sigs :)
since next ubuntu mobile come with 128GB storage, and whole 4GB ram that device would be 16 times bigger then my mail server, but it maybe just me that write sms and making calls with 4GB ram ? :)
back to my commodore 128D with 512K ram expander reading msdos disks formated in 360K on 5.25" inc disks :)
dont belive 8bit could do this ?
