13 I actually don't mean to speed up squirrelmail and PHP. The main
14 function of that system is to run a website in perl, and I thought I
15 might be bogging down apache2 a bit just by opening it up to PHP
16 interpretation (-D PHP). Is that the case? It would also be nice not
17 to be exposed to PHP exploits. It just seems kind of silly to
18 maintain and run PHP just for webmail.
