MCP - Chewing up resources even though it's off

[Stefffan Vigano]

Searched the archives and couldn't find anything... so I hope this isn't a
repeat.   We recently upgraded to 4.37.7 and I've noticed overall load and
processing times have gone up.  Looking at the logs, it seems that although
I have MCP checks set to no, MS is still processing MCP checks.  Here'a a
snippet of our log:

 Feb  4 13:34:44 patrol MailScanner[32776]: MCP Checks completed at 52254
bytes per second
 Feb  4 13:34:49 patrol MailScanner[32776]: Spam Checks completed at 10450
bytes per second

 Feb  4 13:34:56 patrol MailScanner[32776]: Batch completed at 909 bytes per
second (3636 / 4)


I have the following relevant switches in our MailScanner.conf file:

  Keep Spam And MCP Archive Clean = no
  MCP Checks = no

Should MS still be running them through the MCP checks if I have it
explicitly turned off?  Having never run the LogSpeed command before, is
there any guideline on how to read this?  Anything stand out as abnormal?
Anything else I could contribute decreased speed to after an upgrade from
4.29.7 to 4.37.7?

Thanks... keep up the great work!
