I've been using fuzzyocr plugin for some time now and I think
I noticed is its high cpu/memory usage resulting on delayed
delivery of mails. The server is serving 2000+ clients.
The server is a P4 2.6Ghz, 1GB memory running on FreeBSD 6.0.
Should i upgrade the memory to 2GB or 4GB? Will it fix the
problem?
You need to give more details about the version of FuzzyOcr and the
configuration. There are plenty of ways to lower the resource
usage of FuzzyOcr effectively.

Hi Chris,
Im using the the Spamassassin 3.17 and FuzzyOCR version 2.3b, I
just edited the log location and the helper programs, the rest
are all defaults
First of all, the FuzzyOcr version is quite old, I recommend 3.4.x,
but most things I tell you now also work with 2.3b.
a) Try to use ocrad instead of gocr. Ocrad is known to be less
resource intensive. In 2.3b, you need to write your own ocrad
scansets, 3.4.2 includes examples/support for ocrad already
b) Use hashing, it decreases the amount of OCR scans actually done
(use the MLDBM database stuff)
c) Set the autodisable score setting to 5 (or whatever is enough at
your place to count as spam) to minimize the amount of mails scanned
I am aware of the resource problem and 3.5 includes lots of
enhancements which decrease used resources even more, but currently
only 3.5rc1 is available. It is still being tested by me and others
(but performs stable at the moment with all patchsets applied). If you
want, you can have a look at it as well (available at our download
page) :)
Best regards,
Chris
I need your input guys. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

take note of the tips that you've said. Thanks again.
