Hi Edwin, Thanks for your reply. I need to know the cases where ClamAV has performance bottlenecks or issues. What kind of texts that could make ClamAV takes more time than usual. Aho-Corasick and Boyer-Moore might have some situations that cause performance issue. I might consider doing improvements or study performance impact. Do you think that this could be a realistic problem to study?
Any help with that is appreciated.
