Yeah, and it is true that SpamAssassin uses lots of RAM (20M per process?) So what, RAM is cheap!

If I'm not mistaken, some of that 20M is actually shared amongst all the spamd processes, so it's not as much memory usage as you'd think. Five spamd processes that each claim to be using 20M may not actually be consuming a total of 100M. *nix is tricky that way. ;)


Hmm # top PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 31162 spamdata 9 0 25108 17M 6680 S 17.5 2.3 0:00 spamd 31163 spamdata 14 0 24596 16M 7284 S 7.7 2.2 0:00 spamd

25108 - 6680 = 18428 KB physical RAM usage
24596 - 7284 = 17312 KB physical RAM usage

Am I missing something?
