We recently migrated our SpamAssassin installation from a physical 3.6
GHz system running RHEL 4 and SA 3.0.4 to a VMware VM (ESX 2.5.4) with
RHEL 4 as the guest OS and SA 3.1.7. Each user has their own Bayes
files (Berkeley DB) and these were copied from the old to the new
server. Now whenever an expiry process runs on a user's database, the
CPU spikes, sometimes for a minute or longer. We did not notice
spikes on the old server, but it is really hammering the VM. Has
anyone else experienced this problem? For now I have disabled Bayes
altogether because of the unacceptable load.

I'm no VMware expert, but it's been my experience that any kind of
database should not be run in a VMware VM.
