How many child processes is spamd spawning?
I'm getting the following spamd stats:
Min Avg Max
Scan times: 0.6 3.1 55.8
Msg sizes: 2079 7275 306976
I'm running spamd on an 866 MHz P3 box with 512MB RAM and 2GB swap with
a maximum of 5 spamd child processes.
There's no exact correlation between message size and scan time:
- the smallest message took 8.0 seconds to scan
- the biggest message was scanned in 3.6 seconds
- the message that took 0.6 seconds was 3196 bytes
- the message that took 55.6 seconds was 19118 bytes
