Scan time

Thought it was something like that.  Would it be better to have it log
the entire time it took to scan the 100 including the spam checking?
Not a biggy, things have been running slow on the mqueue.in.  I've
narrowed it down to the razor checking in Spamassassin again.

Depends on the version you have, but the basic answer is yes, the
scanning time is the time it took your virus scanner to scan the
messages. The previous entry in the logs is printed just before the spam
detection starts.
