[horde] Horde is really really slow on my machine.

This can be caused by many things.

If everything runs slow, then there is either a problem, or your 
authentication
method is slow.

Whether that is fast enough depends on what you want to do.  I sure wouldn't
try to support many users on that.  But if you just want to use it for a
small number of users it may be sufficient.

May or may not be.  You'd need to explain more what "each page" means (horde
pages, IMP pages, other horde app pages, each and every page across multiple
apps, etc).

If it is too slow depends on your needs and expectations.  There are of
course things you can do to speed it up.  But you've not given enough info
to tell if the problem is with horde, php, authentication, the machine
resources, or elsewhere.
