That's odd, I'm seeing the reverse... at least, I'm comparing to .88.7, not 0.88.1. Clamav 0.88.7: 142 ms per email, Clamav 0.90: 224 ms per email. It's about 55% _slower_ than 0.88.7. (on average. Sample size about 1,400,000 emails). This is without enabling experimental, FreeBSD 4.10, built from ports including the FreeBSD patches that were posted earlier on this list. I've just compiled a clamav 0.90 --enable-experimental, and installed that on another bunch of servers, I'll have statistics on its speed tomorrow. Preliminary results over 2000 samples aren't showing a huge improvement either. For comparison: sophos (via sophie): 27 ms/mail, f-prot (via fprotd): 40 ms/mail (again: average. same samples). -- Jan-Pieter Cornet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> !!
