I have a fairly busy qmail system with about 10K users, and clamd 0.87.1 running under daemontools (clamdscan called by simscan). It's been fine for a long time until Friday night, when the cpu usage quickly started getting over 90%, and now stays there until you kill it.

Are you scanning all email?
Scanning large emails (e.g over 10MB) needs quite a lot of resource, and if your system receives lots of them, the load can increase greatly. If you have slow CPU, or handle lots of email traffic, it might be useful to tell simscan to only scan emails < 1 MB.
