Cyrus tweaks (slow on roundcube)

[Bron Gondwana]

On a Sunday night?  Not really.

So Cyrus itself isn't this slow unless you have a horrible IO system
under it or so little RAM that you can't fit the entire index into
memory and it goes swapping.

A possible issue would be failed DNS resolution on every connect, so you
could check your hosts file to make sure localhost is mentioned (or
change the default_host to 127.0.0.1 to avoid the name lookup at all).

I don't know WTF Kolab are doing with chattrsync.  Cyrus uses fdatasync
correctly to avoid losing data already - if it doesn't that's a really
serious bug, but I'm pretty sure I've audited everything.

So basically - check your IO speeds, and check your DNS.  Anything more
than that, I'd need to see the system or know more about how Kolab
itself is set up.
