I don't know if FreeBSD makes a good job or not (but I would think so :-) ), I'm more on the linux side. But what I think linux (and probably FreeBSD too) would do in case of the temporary files amavisd-new creates is that those files are never written out to disk due to their short lifetime but instead kept in memory. > I guess you need the ram to increase the innodb log sizes and buffer > sizes for mysql so that the bayes and awl work faster.? Not much sense > in increasing $servers beyond 4 * (CPU|CORE|HTT) count is there? > Increase DNS caching size of using lots of RBL's? I don't know how to tune mysql for bayes and awl usage. But for for amavisd-new, I think it's more memory bound than cpu bound, so your "equation" of $servers = 4 * cpucore might not be the best one. A good value for $max_servers should be more estimated by the amount of memory you have in your system (not taking into account things like mysql running on the same host etc.) Those things were probably discussed quite a few times in the past, so you might want to take a look in the archives. As for dual core cpus, I think in the end it comes down to something similar like a smp (multi cpu) system. Of course, I might be completely wrong in my opinion :-) have a nice day :-) Sven > I should increase logging levels and see where else. -- Linux zion.homelinux.com 2.6.17-rc1-mm1_31 #31 Sat Apr 8 16:18:23 CEST 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux 12:49:54 up 1 day, 18:41, 2 users, load average: 0.28, 0.31, 0.17 ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
