I am not sure what is causing it. Basically BSOD (the mail box) runs
Exim, Spamd, Kaspersky daemon, and nntpd from xinetd, the load average
at anytime during the day is never higher than 0.01 and that is now just
after viewing the spamd man file :)

I hope that with the -S in spamd and slightly lowering the -s size this
will help.
