Michael,
Now, I suppose a Dual Xeon, Dual Core would be best, (extra amavisd
processes, extra mysql threads) but ram seems to help out a lot,
especially when you mount the /var/amavis/tmp directory on a ram disk.
That seems to help out more than raw cpu.

The usefulness of placing /var/amavis/tmp to ramdisk
Michael,
Really... Ok, I just assumed it would help. How could it not? FBSD
does that good (or bad?) a job with disk processing? Wouldn't the
combination of fast cpu and ram disk bound processing be faster?

probably FreeBSD too) would do in case of the temporary files
amavisd-new creates is that those files are never written out to
disk due to their short lifetime but instead kept in

True. Slide 20 from my presentation confirms it:

(yes, I am assuming a ram disk for /var/amavis/tmp as per performance
hints)
Any throughput differences in message processing? Especially with a full
rule set (including SARE's rules)?
