Apart from already running with libthr for clamav for a long time, I 
just changed my exim config: While having big CPU usage problems in the 
last days with exim connecting to the local socket I have exim 
now connecting to localhot:3310 by tcp. The difference is, that before 
clamd scanned all files in the directory given by exim. Effectively exim 
was unpacking the whole MIME structure and placed all parts in the dir 
plus the complete e-mail. That way clamd need to examine every single 
part and also checked the whole e-mail unpacking the structure by 
itself. When using the TCP socket the mail is just sent as a stream and 
clamd handles it completely. For us this was anyhow just the first step 
before moving clamd to a loadbalanced set of servers, so that a failing 
clamd does not affect exim anymore.
