I'm looking for some suggestions as to why my spamassassin is so slow!
Installed from ports.
Details:
p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.55
5.0-RELEASE-p7
I'm running spamd and using spamc/procmail to pass the messages to
spamd.
I was reading the following,
http://spamassassin.rediris.es/dist/spamd/README.spamd
and it was talking with figures like:
"Well, on my 400MHz K6-2 mail server, spamassassin process a 11689 byte
message in about 3.36 seconds, spamc/spamd processes the same message in
about 0.86 seconds, or about 4 times faster."
I've got a CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (930.32-MHz
686-class CPU) and I'm seeing performance like,
Jul 8 08:25:11 athomson spamd[52016]: clean message (0.4/5.0) for
ajt:1001 in 10.2 seconds, 2132 bytes.

ajt:1001 in 10.2 seconds, 2847 bytes.

ajt:1001 in 10.2 seconds, 2133 bytes.
Much smaller messages, taking much longer to process!!
