That´s why i asked..

At what stage encryption is used?
We have a pure HTTPS Webserver for IMP/horde and an unecrypted (notls)
connection to localhost IMAP-Server. Therefor i should not see that much change
in speed or is this the wrong track?

Don´t beat me for statements others have done. I only stated that Horde 2.1 /
IMP 3.1 is much faster on my system then Horde 2.2.3 / IMP 3.2.1 and asked if i
can do something about.
