Hi guys, I have pretty much always used clamscan as the primary virus scanner, mostly because the default install of clamdscan doesn't work (and I never bothered to figure out why), but on my mail server performance has become an issue. First, I made sure spamassassin and clamscan dump their temp stuff on /tmp (which is a ramdrive). Then I started fiddling with clamd, managed to break clam completely, and installed bdc for the time being.
First thing I noticed is that bdc scans much faster than clamscan. I manged to fix clam and get clamdscan working, so I disabled clamscan and am now using clamdscan and bdc together. Between the two of them they take less than half the time that clamscan on it's own does to scan a mail. So I'm interested to know if anyone has, or knows of a place where I can obtain comparative performance figures for the available commandline antivirus scanners for linux. I'm thinkin of adding a third scanner, and this would be useful info.
