I'm running SA on RedHat 7.3 with ext3 using the spamd/spamc setup on a Pentium 166 /192MB RAM /7GB IDE. The machine also runs apache, mysql, qmail, and UW-IMAP. It only processes about 500-1000 messages a day. But even on the meager hardware, I average between 6-12 seconds processing time per message on any given day. My guess is the variability is caused by, as others have suggested, how fast razor, rbl's, and other external services are. I'm sure you've already figured this out, but ... Use SPAMD!!! I've run it both ways and averaged the processing. SPAMD is consistently about 4 times faster. Ahoy, Jason PS - Here is an ugly, but functional, shell script to average the spamd processing time for each message on a given day. grep "$1" /var/log/maillog | grep 'spamd' | grep 'seconds' | perl -e '$i = 0; wh ile (<STDIN>) { $i++; @fields = split(/\b/g, <STDIN>); $sum = $sum + @fields [36] ; } print $sum/$i; ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
