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. Jul 8 08:25:27 athomson spamd[52031]: clean message (0.4/5.0) for ajt:1001 in 10.2 seconds, 2092 bytes. Jul 8 08:30:12 athomson spamd[52074]: identified spam (16.0/5.0) for ajt:1001 in 10.3 seconds, 3158 bytes. Jul 8 08:30:28 athomson spamd[52093]: clean message (-2.1/5.0) for ajt:1001 in 10.2 seconds, 2847 bytes. Jul 8 08:30:44 athomson spamd[52100]: clean message (0.4/5.0) for ajt:1001 in 10.2 seconds, 2133 bytes. Much smaller messages, taking much longer to process!! ajt.
