We recently discovered that on FreeBSD (4.10), clamd isn't really multi-
threaded, as the default FreeBSD pthread is userland threads only, which
blocks on disk access. As a result, we had occasional long delays when
scanning multiple mails at the same time.

I wonder if anyone here tried compiling clamd on FreeBSD with linuxthreads
installed? Does that work as expected? At least configure for clamav-0.75-1
does not try to detect liblthread, but it is of course easy to install
linuxthreads in such a way that clamav will pick it up using the default
name.

If nobody has negative experiences, I will probably give this a spin and
report back to the list if there is interest.
