This doesn't appear to be the case: low load average, mostly idle cpu, no significant iowait. > If you aren't swapping, then generally slow processing for a given > email is more likely related to the time it takes to get the > responses for network checks than actual CPU time required to scan > the mail. Often the correct solution is a local caching name > server. I'm sorry I didn't specify that there is a local caching server too, and network access is otherwise snappy. I was hoping to be able to get a list of DNS/URIBLs and other external checks (razor2, pyzor, dcc) along with their timings to see where the problems lie. Possibly there is something for me to fix, or DNLSlists I could locally host, etc. But I realise the parallel nature of the checks makes this more difficult.
