Hello,

I'm running a Slack 10 system with mostly self-compiled software. Using
SA version 3.0.1. Athlon 2600 w/ 512meg + 120gb SATA harddrive.

Here is my problem. I downloaded and compiled a new version of perl.
running spamassassin against the sample-spam.txt and sample-nospam.txt
files yields scan times that are far more than they should:

$ time spamassassin -t < sample-spam.txt > /dev/null

real    0m1.056s

Now, I had this exact problem on another machine, identical setup. I
simply removed the new perl, installed the package from slackware, and it
runs much faster:

$ time spamassassin -t < sample-spam.txt > /dev/null

real    0m0.518s

spamc has the same problem:

Packaged perl:

time spamc < sample-spam.txt > /dev/null

real    0m0.046s


perl from source:

$ time spamc < sample-spam.txt > /dev/null

real    0m1.190s


Both were perl 5.8.4. I cannot seem to track down what is causing this.
All the perl modules are the same as well. Is there some specific option
that perl needs to be compiled with to make this run properly?

Thanks in advance,

        Bryan
