Actually I enjoyed significant improvement in speed when I upgraded my
OG Droid to Peter Alfonso's 2.3.4 stock image.  I'm now running CM7
with 2.3.7 and am quite happy with that too.

For comparison, I ran /usr/bin/horde-active-sessions on my debian
squeeze box with the latest Horde packages and came up with 181 open
sessions.  Of course I have only a few a users and only 2 (both on
Android) using the activesync.  So, this is high, in my opinion, by
manageable.

On a related note, I did have to ask on the Dovecot list about the
number of connections per IP parameter because the other Android user
keeps hitting the limit (they use IMP more than I do).

Lastly, since setting up the other user to use Activesync, the dovecot
log fills with about 5 auth failed log messages an hour all from
127.0.0.1

The only problem I have with my OG Droid is that I cannot create of
edit contacts on the device, no matter which ROM I'm using.  The data
fields are just not there.  I can create the contact but I can only
fill in the name.  This will sync with the server, and then I add the
details on the server and it syncs back to the device.  I've never
been able to debug that.

Anyway, I didn't want to hijack the thread, just add my
active-sessions data to your analysis.
