Did some additional testing:
"clamscan -v --stdout -r" and "clamdscan -v --stdout" take approximately the same time.
They both use all of a single core on my quad-core machine (25% of the available CPU
cycles). Running "clamdscan -m -v --stdout" completes in approximately 1/4 the time, but
it uses essentially 100% of my available CPU cycles. Even starting the file manager took
20 or 30 seconds with that scan running.
Comment on other responses:
- Eliminating files with --exclude: I agree that this is a good strategy, but it doesn't
solve the base issue. Once I'm comfortable with the speed of operation, I'll definitely
do this as a refinement.
- Smaller file size: I don't know what this is for clamscan, but the default for clamd
(if I've understood correctly) is already set to 25Mb (and 150Mb of extracted archive data).
I added this info to bugzilla too.
HTH!

Steve -
Thanks - I'll do a bit of testing based on the offered suggestions and then add the
results . . . .

Dan,
I have opened ticket https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11990 to
track ClamAV performance issues.
Please post any additional ClamAV performance related info there.
