SophosSAVI same speed as Sweep ?

[Martin Hepworth]

you might want to play with the number of children (reduce it) and and
batch size (again try reducing it) and see what impact that makes.

alot of the tuning of MS is very situation specific. There's a some info
on tuning on the MAQ at www.mailscanner.biz as well.

FYI I can do about 1500 emails an hour with Savi, ClamAV, SA with lots
of custom rules, spamhaus XBL + other RBLs along with MailWatch (and the
mysql DB) all on a single Celeron 600/512mB ram...

Whether or not I use Sweep or SophosSAVI I get max around 3.5 emails per second processed with a queue size of around 600 and messages coming in average 1 per second.
