I'm not sure what your trying to gain. Part of the performance advantage of clamd is that it loads the entire database into memory and doesn't reference the file during scanning. Switching to berk-db might reduce the memory footprint of clamd but at the cost of performance. Then again, berk db v4 weighs in on my system as 5.5MB so it might actually increase the memory foot print as well. > A priority that I see is moving away from an md5 checksum approach for > determining updates to a defined incremental system so that we can be > sure to be sure updates are occurring, preferably being able to > interrogate the virus database to determine the last update date for > that particular revision.
