Can somebody explain the differences between clamavmodule vs clamd

[Martin Hepworth]

clamd is normally recommended now as clammodule normally (usually) needs
upgrading everytime clamav puts out a new version and this gives a large lag
between the two..

MailScanner also starts quicker and is smaller with clamd as it doesn't need
to load all the signatures and code on each child start.

Someone did a performance test a while ago (months), I can't remember the
results but I *think* from experience clamd is faster.
