Ah, it is a known issue. Thanks, Al. I will wait. Yeah, this is an issue for slow machines like mine. :(

Phillip,

Did you see this earlier today?

For some reason, applying the 4MB daily-23454.cdiff file took a really long 
time, even on a fast machine - 6 minutes on a 2.6 GHz intel core i7

Curiously, the main-58.cdiff took only a fraction of that time (less than 30 
seconds) to apply, despite being twice the size.

So I'm wondering, when posting a new main.cvd in the future, is there a way to 
decrease the size of the daily cdiff files by having more of them, or would 
that not help with the processing time?  Is there any way to do it without 
making it look like freshclam has hung?

Hello.

My updated 64-bit Debian's stable/Jessie's top shows "4959 clamav    20  0  106684

Its /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log's ending show:

I had to stop clamav-freshclam (via systemctl): clamav-freshclam.service to get my CPU 
back with "sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop" command. Log shows:
Thu Jun  8 14:45:02 2017 -> Update process terminated

It had been like this since last night PDT. Is it just me or are others having 
this issue too?

Thank you in advance. :)
