[horde] Active Sync makes a rather slow impression

The slowdown is most likely NOT due to any server resource usage - as  
you can see by your server stats. This is probably due to OL's speed  
in parsing and/or requesting each set of mail messages. IIRC, I've  
seen OL request between 5 and 50 messages per request and new requests  
are not made immediately after the previous one finishes (probably to  
improve responsiveness of OL during the long initial sync while still  
allowing NEW email messages to arrive before the intial sync is  
finished). As far as I know there is no way to change this behavior.  
You can verify this by following the sync log of an attached OL client.
