Slow Outlook Connector

[Michael Glad]

We run Cyrus 2.3.11 + Fastmail patches as of January 2 on a 64 bit RHEL 5.1 
Opteron server.  We have some 1000 users and up til 300 simultaneous imap 
processes. The system works nicely with MUAs like Thunderbird and various 
flavors of Outlook and shows no signs of any significant load.

We do, however, have users using the Oracle Outlook connector who complain 
about bad performance.

I've set up a testaccount with a 16k messages folder.  Using Thunderbird, 
messages are shown w/o any noticeable delay when I click them.  Using 
Outlook+outlook connector, the message 'getting complete message' are shown 
for at couple of seconds before the message is actually displayed. This may 
be what annoys the users.

Are there other Cyrus sites out there with similar problems?
