ClamAV + MailScanner

Last night I had a nice backlog of 30,000 emails in the sendmail inqueue,
so I thought it was a good time to compare ClamAV to ClamAVmodule.

First I ran MS with just ClamAV as the antivirus scanner, and then
ClamAVmodule as the only scanner.

It took MS 9 minutes to process 1500 messages from the inqueue with ClamAV,
and it then took MS 13 minutes to process another 1500 messages with
ClamAVmodule.

I reproduced this a few times, so I would state that ClamAV is faster than
its perl module scanner.
