[horde] Apache + PHP getting slower

[Henry Blackman]

When things stop working my first step is to ensure I get a fresh start.

I'd go back to compiling Apache with PHP statically, including the 
latest versions of all the packages you need (except IMAP, I prefer 
4.7c).  Although I'm a great fan of RPMs, I've found that compiling 
statically always solves any problems I've been having.  Make sure you 
refresh PEAR too by ensuring you do a make install for PHP.

If that doesn't work, I'd reinstall horde/imp/turba and reconfigure it 
from a fresh.  I'd also stop using Squirrelmail and whatever else.  You 
only have a small amount of memory, and while a little goes a long way 
with unix, it's probably worth ensuring you aren't running anything you 
don't need (like xWindow which RedHat likes to install).  I've had IMP 
running on RedHat 6.2 for quite some time now and I've not run into the 
problems you describe.

Good luck,
Henry
