Very, very interesting.  I have approx. 10,000 users here on webmail being
used over an linuxvirtualserver farm of machines.  Any luck with the php
accelerator?

The biggest change that I made was going from mbox to Maildir & using
courier as the imap daemon.  The jump in speed was incredible.  I can't
even fathom surviving on mbox.

Thanks for the link!
