I would try to figure out why your net tests are so slow. Or maybe first
figure out (if you haven't already) whether it is really the net tests that
are slowing you down. Maybe you are thrashing, and more memory, or running
fewer spamd children, or having them expire after fewer connections would be
the real cure here.
that all makes sense. you've given me three good suggestions to try next week.
the reason I suspected the net tests was because the problem happened after we upgraded from version 2. we were keeping up before. I was thinking it was the net tests because I wasn't doing them in 2. I wasn't aware of other changes from 2 to 3 that could be the cause. now if two used fewer children, that could indeed be a smoking gun.
