Sweeeet package!!!

I installed RoundCube on a fast Win 2003 R2 Server and find RoundCube to be very slow. Much, much slower than Squirrelmail. It takes 6-10 seconds to check for new mail. The spell checker took two minutes on a  HTML email and did not find the mistakes in an email with only two words in the body. It's not slow when checking a text email. Maybe the spell checker does not work on HTML emails. If so, maybe the spellcheck option should be grayed out for HTML emails.

I sent a HTML email and included an emotion icon, but the URL to the image did not include the domain. Just a local source URL as below:

<img title=&quot;Yell&quot; src=&quot;program/js/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Yell&quot; />Should be something like:

Don't get me wrong... it's a nice package, and I'm not complaining, but it's slowwww on my server. I created this post because I'm asking for help to determine if I need to make some configuration changes and/or to find out if RoundCube should be faster.

Anyone have any ideas?

Interesting.  RC is zippity fast on my Linux setup.  I have an IIS box, but don't use it ;)  Are you using Apache or IIS as the server?  Is php set up as a module or are you using the CGI?  How much memory are you giving PHP?

I can say that the "lag" between updates has to do with the (1) your connection speed and (2) the fact that it's doing 2 requests for every 1 that Squirrel Mail does.

RC should be faster, but I'm not sure how much faster.  I'm also not sure you can really make it any faster.  It mainly depends upon the box running RoundCube and the speed of your internet.

Server:
- Windows Ent. Server 2003 R2
- Apache 2.2.6
- PHP 5.2.6 as a module with 'memory_limit = 128M'
- MySQL 5.0.51a
- 2 GB RAM
- 2.24 GHz processor
- Business DSL 2892 kbps

Workstation:
- Windows XP SP3
- 2 GB RAM
- 3 GHz Processor
- Business DSL 2892 kbps

Both systems are really fast with everything else.

I googled and found a couple of posts, on other forums, from people experiencing the same slow performance on Windows. Unfortunately, no one seems to have found the cause.
 
I have installed Squirrelmail, Telaen, Uebimiau and IlohaMail. All of them are extremely fast when compared to RC, darn it!:confused:
 
Hope someone out there can give me some clues.
 
UPDATE:

I found the fix! Don't know how I missed it. Here it is:
