F-Prot 6 (and lack of speed thereof)

[Julian Field]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

F-Prot 6, when used as a command-line scanner, is appallingly slow.
However, it comes with a daemon fpscand.
This runs a whole lot faster.

My next job is to implement support for fpscand (I'll probably call it 
f-protd, which is the name of the "service" used to start and stop it). 
This should bring back the speed of f-prot, hopefully to the same speed 
as f-prot 4, which used to be one of the fastest scanners around.

Expect news on this front very soon, it affects me badly on my own site :-(
