I'll admit I'm not too smart when it comes to how much memory an app is
supposed to use but it seems to me that since I installed .96 on my
Mandriva 2010 system it's using an excessive amount.
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
834 clamav 20 0 375m 344m 5420 S 0.0 45.6 0:25.13 clamd
or am I incorrect in my assumption? If not what settings can I change to
limit the amount of memory being used?

The question is how much memory does it use on avg? Also, what OS are
you using?
If it is actively scanning something then..... that still seems
excessive but...... how much memory do you have in the system?
Here is my usage:
PID PPID RSS VSZ %CPU %MEM CMD
3264 1 93768 116336 0.0 6.0
/usr/local/sbin/clamd
For my system, that works out to be 91MB at idle.....
My mail server is ONLY used by myself so .... has very little load and
spend more than 99% of the time idle.
