Just to add to this... ClamAV 0.88.7 - Reading/loading of the virus database (~94k signatures) took only 2-3 seconds.
ClamAV 0.90.3 - 26-30 seconds. (122k signatures) Same hardware/OS, no additional changes. Does this seem about right? If so, it's causing clamd stream clients to hold up worker threads on the mail server; which hard timeout at 10 seconds. If 25-30 sec is the norm now looks like I'll have to go to once a day definition loading at off peak hours. -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblayzor\@(inoc.net|gmail.com) PGP: 0x66F90BFC @ http://pgp.mit.edu Key fingerprint = 6296 F715 038B 44C1 2720 292A 8580 500E 66F9 0BFC _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
