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? -Ben 172 processes: 155 sleeping, 15 running, 1 zombie, 1 stopped CPU states: 81.8% user, 18.1% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle Mem: 512112K av, 478968K used, 33144K free, 12K shrd, 56892K buff Swap: 522104K av, 70088K used, 452016K free 32896K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 20375 spamc 14 0 11612 6952 2728 R 3.2 1.3 0:00 spamd 19697 root 14 0 1128 1128 832 R 2.9 0.2 0:01 top 20378 spamc 14 0 11416 6532 2732 R 2.7 1.2 0:00 spamd 20387 spamc 14 0 11340 5824 2568 R 2.4 1.1 0:00 spamd 20261 qmailq 9 0 4020 4020 1688 S 2.1 0.7 0:00 perl5.6.1 20236 qmailq 9 0 3780 3780 1476 S 2.0 0.7 0:00 perl5.6.1 20247 qmailq 9 0 4020 4020 1688 S 1.9 0.7 0:00 perl5.6.1 20252 qmailq 9 0 4020 4020 1688 S 1.9 0.7 0:00 perl5.6.1 20397 qmailq 14 0 3772 3772 1480 R 1.9 0.7 0:00 perl5.6.1 20398 qmailq 14 0 3772 3772 1480 S 1.9 0.7 0:00 perl5.6.1 20415 qmailq 16 0 3352 3352 1432 R 1.5 0.6 0:00 perl5.6.1 22570 ldap 9 0 184M 148M 1256 S 1.4 29.6 0:46 slapd 20419 qmailq 15 0 2948 2948 1324 R 1.4 0.5 0:00 perl5.6.1 20424 qmailq 15 0 2968 2968 1324 R 1.4 0.5 0:00 perl5.6.1 20459 qmailq 19 0 2844 2844 1324 R 1.1 0.5 0:00 perl5.6.1 7089 ldap 10 0 184M 148M 1256 R 0.7 29.6 0:59 slapd 20458 qmailq 15 0 1876 1876 1176 R 0.6 0.3 0:00 perl5.6.1 217 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.3 0.0 2:21 kjournald 1625 spamc 14 0 10892 1632 1012 S 0.2 0.3 1:54 spamd ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Definitive IT and Networking Event.
