Well, I've got 732K of add-on rules on my server (mostly SARE). Lots of small files add up fast. No speed problems. The spamd processes take up about 35M each. > Ok.

If I had to guess, I'd say that's your culprit. The SARE guys do a good job testing their rules. Remove the other rules and see if the problem remains with just your custom rules. > I also have a couple rule sets that have the full set loaded from > rulesemporium.

Find out where the problem is and then you know which rule set needs to be cut down or fixed. > I think what it boils down to is just getting carried away.
