so days later, still chunking away, not making much progress.If I kill the process (doesn't stop sa-learn, just kills current script), it always returns ^Cplugin: eval failed: interrupted at /usr/local/bin/sa-learn line 511. which is 0509 sub killed { 0510 $spamtest->finish_learner(); 0511 die "interrupted"; 0512 } The only difference in sa-learn I'm running from 3.4.1 at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/tags/spamassassin_release_3_4_1/ is line 50 0050 $searchrelative = 1; # disabled during "make install": REMOVEFORINST (which I assume is removed given "REMOVEFORINST") So I assume given the changes in lines 19-21, that my server is running 3.4.1 release. I note that 3.4.2p3 has one difference from 3.4.1, which is comment out use bytes; at line 21 (this has been there or not there a few times over various versions and so may be slightly meaningful to something) 0021 # use bytes; I'm not sufficiently perl savvy to have any idea whether that's useful to my performance issues or not, but it an easy enough mod to try. Any thoughts?
Can you setup a generic SA installation on your desktop/laptop/VM (some other location), copy your ham/spam corpus, and try to train the bayes on another instance? This may take a little effort but prove insightful.
If that proves to be fast, then you could copy over your /etc/mail/spamassassin directory and see if that causes the same slow down which would point to some setting in /etc/mail/spamassassin. You may want to backup the /etc/mail/spamassassin before copying over yours for reference just in case you need to diff some config files later.
P.S. A very fast, easy way to setup a test VM with SA (plus Postfix, Dovecot, Roundcube webmail, etc.) is http://iredmail.org.
