Slow virus scans "fixed"

I got my virus scanner working quickly again.  On the large server, I
had to set "Scanning By Domain = yes" and "Domains To Scan =
/etc/mail/relay-domains".  Once I restarted mailscanner with those
settings, my mqueue.in flushed 900+ e-mail in less than 30 seconds.  I
didn't notice an inordinate number of outbound messages in the queue
prior to the change.  Could there be a glitch in the code?  Protecting
just my local users, I'm able to up the number/size of messages per
batch and also run McAfee and F-Prot in tandem, which is what I was
after overall.  I've got more servers coming in next week so I can do
more testing, but the current settings will hold me until then.

Thanks for the help,
