Thank you for the benchmarks Steve.
We are aware of this problem. With more than 1 million signatures, it takes 
too much ram/cpu on lower hardware systems.
ATM, we mainly focus on javascript.ndb and securiteinfohtml.hdb to create more 
generic signatures. It will speed up database reload and increase detection 
ratio.

Anyway, the best thing you should do is to increase RAM on your system, 
because every day official Clamav databases are growing, so one day you will 
get this problem even if you only use official Clamav databases.

Furthermore, I think this is a bad idea to lower detection ratio due to a 
hadware limitation.
