[imp] Performace problems with new IMP

[Sean D.]

I just counted <20 secs from clicking Login to fully loaded inbox display. Thats 
using https on an inbox with 800+ messages. I also have many of the features 
turned on that are considered performance hits. Like displaying attachment icons 
and Mail Previews and everything else i thought looked cool regardless of 
performance hit.  However I sort my mail by the faster Arrival Time setting and 
use Imapproxy. Subsequent re-visits to the inbox only take 4-5 secs. to load it 
up though.  I'm happy with performance so far but noticed that with my larger 
inbox accounts that one thing you definitely need to watch for is that  if you 
use Mail Filters or Ingo that you have it set to only filter New Messages. 
Having it filter all messages takes a good 40-60 secs.

Using Courier Imap (localhost), PHP 4.3.9, RHEL3 on a P4 2.8 w/ HT and 1GB ram. 
  Load is low (at least at this hour of the night).

No question the old IMP was much snappier in response but all the new features 
in 4.0 come with a slight performance price tag, to me i think they are worth it.

Maybe the old version can be renamed to IMP-Lite and stripped down and optimized 
for high performance?
