We're seeing the same thing here.
We mirror the DB for ClamXAV users but we do a Mac-specific FP test first
which usually takes around 3.5 hours on a fast Mac.
Daily DB version 27709 took 3 hours 20 minutes whereas version 27710 took
12 hours 46 minutes
Only to add...Lots of sigs added in 22710...

Hi
Starting July 25th we've seen the time taken to complete a scan of our
system double, jumping from 15 hours up to 34. We haven't changed the
system's configuration, and the number of files scanned and total size has
remained relatively constant.
fwiw - We've seen similar here. We do a lot of ad-hoc scans of files etc.
The increase in scan time correlates with an update of the daily database
from version 27709 to 27710.
Since around this change we've noticed a lot of latency on systems ahead of
clamav - which seems to be caused by scans slowing down - and massively
increased load averages on the scanning machines themselves :(
