Some other quick notes once you get to the root of the problem...

Only load up the php extensions you need; you'll save memory which may 
save you from swap and speed things up.  A squirrelmail-only install I run 
has the following in extensions.ini:

extension=gettext.so
extension=pcre.so
extension=session.so
extension=mysql.so
extension=zlib.so
extension=sockets.so
extension=imap.so
extension=mhash.so

And again, if this apache process is mainly doing squirrelmail you'll get 
a HUGE boost in zippiness with one of the php accelerators.  Zend costs 
money, but http://www.php-accelerator.co.uk is free and has been working 
great for me.  Very noticeable improvement in squirrelmail with the accel 
loaded...
