<html>Good day,<br /><br />I am currently setting up/debugging a webmailer-only setup using Roundcube (latest version) with Dovecot (2.3.20, latest as of now).<br /><br />Generally speaking the setup performs OK, I wrote a JMeter Roundcube script to test the Roundcube. This includes actions like listing mails and fetching them. I am hitting a somehow dubious limit of 600 req/s though. (This includes all kinds of HTTP calls to Roundcube, not only the ones triggering IMAP). When the dovecot becomes unavailable, the performance without mails jumps to 7700 req/s. Testing is done with 4 JMeter-servers and one client. <br /><br />My setup is a Dovecot with MySQL (Percona XtraDB) backend. Mails are encrypted with mail_crypt and EC keys. Authentication is done in parallel (auth_cache_verify_with_workers=yes). Where possible min_available_processes have been set equal to the threads available on the Dovecot machine (64).<br /><br />Hardware is a 64 thread Xeon CPU at 2.10 GHz, 96 GB RAM, SSDs as backing storage IOPS read 40000/write 13000.<br /><br />What settings do you recommend and how was your experience with Roundcube and its performance in general (what should be possible with that kind of HW?)?<br /><br />Best regards and thanks in advance!<br /><br /></html>
