Speed problems

[Martin Hepworth]

Julian

went from 4.24.4 to 4.28.2-2 yesterday and it's slow..running 4.28.4
right now and still slow.

yes it seems alot faster in debug mode - perhaps this is also related to
my clamavmodule problems which also works in debug mode, but not in
forking mode (ooo err:-)

dropping back to 4.24.4 gets me a nice speedy system again, but then I
loose the passwded zip file functionality...

I've tried dropping the number of Children down from 5 to 2 and this has
made little differnce...

top shows alot more 'system' activity when running 4.28 then 4.24, dunno
why???
