Strange, our daemons dont grow that large. Are you using LDAP lookups 
or something like that compiled against it ?  Looking at one box, 
running a dev version

% clamd --version
ClamAV devel-20070124/2607/Mon Feb 19 12:56:34 2007

Started Jan24th, its only at 119MB

Its done about 94K messages today

It usually hovers around 5-8 threads, depending on the time of day.  Right now

and a version .90 started last Friday shows 74MB of mem usage.
