I am trying to figure out what the rate limiter is on RC. I love the program but it is being a bit slow and I am not sure exactly what is limiting it. I am using PHP 5.1.4 and MySQL 5 and my machine is a dual core 3 Ghz macine with a gig of DDR memory. I was watching the memory and CPU and it was far from being topped off.. It was just using a few percents of the CPU and there was plenty of memory.
My client machine is around 2Ghz with a 1g memory.
Now... my ISP is a bit slower I think, but I would imagine the extensive caching of messages should make the pages load very quickly. It currently takes a bit less than ten seconds to load the inbox in which I have 1087 messages.
Is it polling the IMAP server every time or is it loading from the cache and then periodically polling for new mail in the background?
Is there anything I can do to improve the speed of the application? Do I have too many messages in my inbox?
Anyway, love the product and thanks for all your hard work. I wish I knew PHP, I suppose I could learn now :-)
BTW, the current SVN version has a bug where the VCard is required but the code puts nothing when adding a contact. This causes the contact adding to fail. I just updated that column to nullable and it works :-)
Thanks!
