I am not using on-access scanning. when I type man clamd, I don’t get any information on threads.
I’ve tested setting MaxThreads to 100 vs 16(the amount of vcpus the scanner has), and I did not see a performance increase. What is the recommend setting for MaxThreads/MaxQueue for a 16 core system? Also another question- Is there anyway to force clamd to use more RAM to increase performance. On Thu, Mar 4, 2021 at 10:55 AM G.W.
