Just curious how I can speed things up here on debian. Say I have 10
messages queued going outbound, and 10 to retrieve via fetchmail from
an IMAP box, all of which must be accomplished within a 10 minute
modem call.
Last time I tried it barely did it all in time. Wild guesses: Perhaps
"inbound and outbound messages are handled by the same process" and if
separated into two processes things could go faster. No, looking at
the log file, I see the word "completed" appears within the same
second as the previous line with the =>... etc. OK, here are the
bare essentials for your analysis, hour etc. stripped.
$ sort -k 2n log|cut -c 15-20,32-33,37-39
17:53 p1 <=
17:53 p1 =>
17:53 p1 Co
17:59 rj =>
17:59 rj Co
19:18 g3 =>
19:18 g3 Co
20:03 fR ->
20:03 fR =>
20:03 fR Co
20:54 qS =>
20:54 qS Co
22:05 fV =>
22:05 fV Co
etc. bla bla bla. In this stretch we are connecting to the same SMTP
relay... OK, perhaps the bottleneck is there. All messages in and out
are the puny 2Kb variety. OK, I guess exim is handling things as fast
as they are given to it. OK, never mind.
