[imp] About php

YMMV = Your Millage May Vary

I wouldn't even consider using PHP on anything lower than a
Pentium II 300 with 64MB of RAM. Server side scripting is much
more CPU & memory intensive than compiled applications. It's
no big deal on a PIII-450 or better but going much lower than
a PII 300 is going to severely impact your servers performance.
I'd also suggest using at least 128 MB of RAM. Anything bellow
what I've mentioned above and it is very likey you will only
ever have slow performance. Hell, even a PII 300 is VERY slow
by todays standards for anything. Especially a mail server
running a web interface via server side scripting. Unless you
upgrade your server your simply not going to get the
performance you seem to be expecting.

First, would yo mind to tell me what is "YMMV" ?
Second, about our System :
Mail Server ( RH 6.2 ) + sendmail : 16MB Ram + pentium 7x CPU + swap drive
around
130MB of Linux System.
Webmail System ( RH 7.2 ) , IMP 3.1 + php 4.1.2 ( came from Horde ) : 32MB Ram +
pentium 1xx CPU + swap drive around 180MB of Linux System.

Other info :
1, 30 users
2, Setting of php ( php.ini ) :

upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 10M
max_execution_time = 300
memory_limit = 96M

So, how can we set the config of php ( php.ini ), then the problem ( the speed
is
very slow , even hang the browser of client ) of attachment will be fixed ?

Thank for your help !

Edward.
