I'm running SpamAssassin 3.3.2 port revision 6 (latest from FreeBSD ports) on FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE 64-bit.
I recently upgraded my Perl from 5.10 to 5.14 but I needed to downgrade because SpamAssassin was crashing on a daily basis. See bug: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6745 I have since downgraded my servers to Perl 5.10 and Perl 5.12. I have noticed that Perl 5.12 runs noticeably slower compared to 5.10. I think 5.14 was slow as well. Average scan times are higher and there are often more 'longer running' scans. This results in more output on servers running Perl 5.12: tail -f /var/log/maillog | grep 'identified spam .*[2-9][0-9].[0-9] seconds' Have others experienced the same thing? - Julian
