This was with the version that back then relied on the C-implementation
(mapi) of the protocol. Since this proved to be unmaintainable, we
switched to a PHP native-implementation. This is obviously much less
suited to gain high performance in large data volumes shipped over the
wire, as you observed in your initial post.
