Hi, i done it with the latest version and results are: 4.9 seconds in qmail-scanner log (so with email overhead and so on) (before was 13.45) 2.6 seconds scanning it directly by command line. (before was 6.66)
The directory created in the /tmp dir are ever 352 but speed is improved. Why such a difference between the 2 versions?? Why clamav create so many files in the tmp dir? Now it is better. Thank you for help.
