The baseline (as i understand it) is as follow :
Earlier versions use the (weaker) crypt functions from Pear. As these go away in
the newer releases the PHP crypt functions are used which are terrible slow if
your PHP don´t use mcrypt. On my machine PHP without mcrypt was 2.5 times slower
with lot more CPU load. With mcrypt support IMP 3.2.1 is as fast as IMP 3.1.
The crypt functions are used to store/retrieve the session data so nearly every
page load uses it.
