That looks to me like clamd is working as designed. It has a queueing system which manages threads doing different kinds of work. If you are giving the daemon a lot of work to do, under some circumstances it will defer processing for some threads, based on a queuing algorithm. For more information see the 'man' page for clamd (look for 'threads', which should lead you to configuration options to experiment with) and perhaps also .../clamd/thrmgr.c in the ClamAV source. Are you using any on-access scanning? -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
