Hi, I have been running some performance tests on spamc/spamd and I wanted to make sure my results were consistent with expected performance. All tests were run on: Dual 2.8 Ghz Xeon (4 logical CPUs) box w/2GB RAM Redhat 8.0, Spam Assassin 2.60 I've been using the spamc/spamd combination. I'm not using any of the rbl checks for my testing, e.g. razor. When processing a 56937 byte mail message composed of HTML text, I'm able to process around 3.3 messages a second (or 186,985 bytes/second) at 100% cpu utilization (all 4 logical cpus maxed out). An 11k HTML message processes at 11.7 messages per second (or 131,488 bytes/second) at 80% CPU utilization. A 4K plain text message processes at 13.2 messages per second (60,003 bytes/second) at 70% CPU utilization. FYI: I have a modified spamc app that is multithreaded to hammer spamd. Throughput varied by less than 3% if spamc/spamd were on the same box or a different boxes. Does this performance appear reasonable? Does anyone have metrics that they can share? Additionally has anyone tried profiling spamd? perl -T -d:DProf /usr/bin/spamd errors out. Unfortunately I only have about 8 weeks worth of perl experience over the last 5 years, so I haven't been able to investigate the profiling problems. Any thoughts on spamc/spamd performance are greatly appreciated.
