Okay, for the records. I have done some tests with the following baseline :
Hardware : Crappy P2-350 MHz / 256 MB-RAM
System : Linux 2.4-18, Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.3.1
Test : Open a somewhat complex message within IMP

1.) Horde 2.1 / IMP 3.1 / PHP without mcrypt : 3 sec.
2.) Horde 2.2.3 / IMP 3.2.1 / PHP without mcrypt : 6 sec.
3.) Horde 2.1 / IMP 3.1 / PHP with mcrypt : 2-3 sec.
4.) Horde 2.2.3 / IMP 3.2.1 / PHP with mcrypt : 4 sec.

Need to say that 2. bogs down the CPU for several seconds, 4. don´t load it more
than 1. or 3.

So for me the problem is solved by using Horde 2.2.3 / PHP-mcrypt on this
machine :-)

Next challenge is my K6-233 working for some non-profit project ;-)

Thanxs for the help & the great software
