color=#0000ff size=2>Wow a load average of 1.10 ;-) I use a dual
proc Sunfire box with 2gigs and I average around 5 to 6 with occasional
12s. About 48,000 messages are processed on it. It's not MailScanner
or the AV that drives it up, it's SpamAssassin that does. The more tests
you do then the higher the load.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

<DIV><SPAN class=271260116-08042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've just gotten
around to upgrade both my MailScanner boxes from 4.25-10 to 4.29.7 - I realise
that *loads* of stuff has been improved between these versions but I've
experienced quite a fair increase in Load Average since the upgrade
and wondered if anyone else had experienced anything
similar??</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=271260116-08042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>For example - my
busiest box processes around 4,500 messages per day and had an average load of
0.5, since upgrading this is now more like 1.10.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
