Hi there! 

Using qmail-scanner on a *very* busy mail server, with Spam Assassin and 
F-prot, on Red Hat Linux 7.2, 1 Ghz P3 w/512 RAM. 

Load average, with qmail-scanner jumps from 0.3-ish to 10+ when Qmail-scanner 
is turned on. Below is a screen copy/paste of a typical "top".  As you can 
see, perl5.6.1 is eating this machine alive. 

Can anybody offer advice for improving performance? 

Has anybody tried the byte-code pre-compiling stuff for Perl 5.6? Is there a c 
version of qmail-scanner? What about the "perl-to-c" stuff I see from time to 
time?
