Has anyone else seen clamscan takeup 99% cpu

[Peter Lemieux]

We also use clamd, and it is definitely much faster than running clamscan on 
each message.  In our implementation, clamd is also supporting SquidClamAV 
which scans every object downloaded via the "transparent" Squid proxy 
running on the same machine.  Even with both MailScanner and 
SquidClamAV+c-icap making calls to clamd, it usually stays below 20% CPU 
usage.  (This is a dual-Xeon machine which I'm sure helps a lot!  It shows a 
long-term load average of just 0.5.)
