Hi,
I discovered terrible decrease of qmail performance, when there are a lot of not preprocessed messages in mail queue. and yes, I have quite speed queue disks (2 stripped scsi,reiserfs) because I know that disks are main bottleneck.... qmail-qstat works very fast even if there are more than 100.000 messages in queue. When there are more than several thousands files in "todo" directory, qmail-send works _very_ slow and it took a lot of time to process them all. Funny thing is that new incoming mails are injected very fast, and this makes qmail-send work slower and slower. Of course one of solutions is to limit qmail-smtpd processes, but I don't want that. will big-todo patch help me ? I think the problem is because scanning of single directory (todo) is very slow when there is so many files. will big-todo patch be incorporated to qmail-ldap ? Greetings -- Aleksander
