As title says, I'm tasting the usage of a big mailbox (it's the import of my mailbox...)...

If I wanto to do a search via webmail, the search itself is very slow and takes very long time, and the CPU usage is very high (only 1 mailbox is used in this test!!!).

These are images after 2 minutes after searching started (CPU is a Intel Xeon E-2136 and the storage is on Samsung Enterprise nVME SSD...):

Retried the same search a second time and it was almost instant ...

The first time it took about 2 minutes.

I tried again after restarting the Server and again it took a long time the first time and then it was very fast the second ...


It's normal?

In Outlook and in Exchange webmail (where I come from) it's always very fast ...

I can't tell users that webmail searches will often be that slow, otherwise I'll have a lot of complaints!

Also, if a single user's webmail search uses so much CPU, I can't imagine what will happen when I have 100 users ...
